NovaCode: A Smart Money Manager Application

Financial management is an issue poorly understood amongst people of all ages. People spend their salary without doing any regards to the accounting of their finances, which may lead to people getting into in high debt situations, particularly unsecured debt (credit cards) and high interest rate loans. The purpose of this project is to design and develop an accounting tool to help people manage their finances. This easy-to-use tool will allow users to track their income and expenses; therefore, they will have more and updated information to make their personal financial decisions, and allow them to maintain a positive balance. The program will be able to store the user’s salary and debts, and it will give the user the exact amount of money available to spend, the amount they should put in a savings account. In addition, it is going to pinpoint your location, so it can help the user locate and recommend nearby restaurants, gas stations, etc. based on disposable money. In this way, users of the application will get the most out of their money without compromising their savings and equity. We have developed this personal money assistant using C++ as part of the final project of the intermediate programming course. The program was tested with control data, and it was executed with no errors generating the expected results. Future work will include the development of a mobile application.
