Track 3: Hostel Life Utility Manager - UI/UX Beginner Track

Managing money in hostel life is often unstructured and stressful. Students rely on memory, chats, or spreadsheets to track expenses, which leads to confusion and mistakes.
Common issues include:

• Difficulty tracking daily and shared expenses in one place
• Confusion over who paid, who owes, and how much
• Manual bill splitting after group outings
• Awkward conversations and delayed repayments
• No clear understanding of monthly spending habits
