BudgetBot - Expand Your Bounds

A demo of the program.

Inspiration

We needed a way to keep track of our monthly spending in a simple and straightforward fashion.

What it does

It will ask for some simple personal information, and then ask for your monthly variables and calculate your spending balance.

How we built it

We used the user input of their monthly salary and expenses to calculate how much money they would have leftover to spend every month. We want to take this simple concept and advance it to help users elevate their finances, hopefully with a user-friendly GUI.

Challenges we ran into

We had trouble creating a simple GUI, but eventually, we decided to just use the console and have a more polished program. Also, we had difficulty implementing OOP into our program, as we are not used to programming in Java. We hope to later reorganize our code so that we can easily add to it and make necessary changes.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This is our first Java project! We are proud of how much we learned and were able to accomplish in such a short amount of time given our experience as beginners.
