Living in a country with economic problems makes it difficult to save money and manage daily expenses, as prices are constantly changing. This requires frequent adjustments to budgets, which can be time-consuming and discouraging. Many people are too busy to keep their budgets up to date, which leads to poor spending habits. People often lose sight of their financial priorities when they are spending money, which can lead to them taking out loans and other forms of debt. In summary, the following are the challenges of saving money in a country with economic problems. SaveNest is a cutting-edge budget planning mobile application designed to empower users with efficient financial management, allowing them to achieve their financial goals and aspirations. In today's fast-paced lifestyle, managing finances can be challenging, and SaveNest aims to simplify this process by providing a user-friendly platform tailored for budget planning.Through this application, users can easily manage their budget efficiently.
The application empowers users to select a merchant with an active online store where they regularly purchase goods. When the price of an item changes on the merchant's website, the application promptly sends a notification to the user, alerting them of the increase and suggesting that they adjust their budget plans accordingly, taking into account the fluctuating economic landscape of the country.
Many individuals often find it cumbersome and time-consuming to manually update their budget plans based on their expenses. Nevertheless, our application "Save Nest" streamlines this task by seamlessly integrating with APIs, leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms. This allows the application to automatically update spending information by extracting relevant data from photos of bills, providing users with a more efficient and user-friendly experience
The application requires users to define their spending priorities when creating a budget plan. For instance, if a user designates education as their top priority, followed by clothing, the application will send an alert in the event that the user exceeds their usual spending limit on clothing. This alert serves as a reminder to the user about their more crucial financial commitments in the education category. Additionally, it includes a motivational quote, encouraging them to refrain from overspending on lower priority items.
Our application conducts a thorough examination of the historical pricing data associated with user-selected items. Using advanced algorithms and data modeling techniques, the application generates predictive insights, offering users informed estimations of future price predictions for their chosen items.
