CoinSavvy
The Ultimate Fin Tool
The problem CoinSavvy solves
The average loan student debt for students graduated from college in 2022 was $375,746
The average college student has approximately $3,100 in credit card debt.
Unfortunately, today’s youth lack the trivial knowledge on money management like saving, spending, budgeting, responsible borrowing, investing etc. ‘CoinSavvy’ is an online platform to provide the youth with the necessary money management skills by promoting financial literacy. It will enable them to make wise short-term as well as long-term financial decisions and avoid excessive debt. This platform’s ultimate objective is to make the youth financially stable and mindful individuals when it comes to managing expenses.
While there is already surplus information available online about financial literacy, it often exists in scattered and disjointed formats. To address this gap, we are dedicated to compiling and elaborating on this information in a coherent and accessible manner.
Beginning with budgeting basics, the user will be taken on a journey emphasizing the importance of saving and effects of inflation and will be introduced to basic investment concepts, using real-world examples. Debt management will be another focal point, where users will be educated on different types of debt and strategies for responsible borrowing and debt repayment. The website will also emphasize the significance of credit scores and provide guidance on how to build and maintain good credit. As the user progresses through their learning journey, they will earn points and badges on completion of tasks.
CoinSavvy will have a Simple Budget Calculator in it, so that the user can calculate their expenses and manage their personal finance with ease.
Challenges we ran into
Being a team of students from first year we expercienced a lot of challenges while using MERN stack. While interacting with Express and MongoDB, we were able to accomplish its initial steps but got stuck when we had to integrate it with our project. We overcomed these hurdles with the little help of seniors and a major help from Chatgpt in debugging the code. At last, mentors helped us to a better approach for various part of codes which lead to a smooth journey of our project.
