Our Project
We understand the difficulties that can ensue from dealing with money in college. There are a number of expenses that can accrue as a college student; including but not limited to rent, food, gas, water bills, electric bills, while still saving enough money to go out and enjoy time with friends. There are so many things to keep track of while being a full time student. This can become even more overwhelming when a constant stream of income may not be a viable or possible option. That is exactly why we created Budget Buddy; to helps students manage these expenses while still saving for the future.
Budget Buddy gives college students a way to manage and budget their money in an intuitive and smart way. It offers a range of tools for users to help manage their money with or without an income. These tools include an intuitive and extensive budgeting page with data visualizations, a calculator, a calendar to track and edit goals, and a map feature where users can find and save their preferred bank. It allows students to have all of their budgeting needs in one place, we make it as easy as 1, 2, 3. Get ready to Plan, Save, and Change!
