As our code is now, we currently have a pretty concrete idea of what we are doing with the expenses and income, in terms of how our program processes that data and displays it to the user (e.g. save expenses, track monthly spending, display monthly spending vs. goal spending, with similar functions for income). However, the investments field of the budget is not really used, so I thought it would be a good idea if we could implement a use case that would make it useful.
I propose that we make the investments a field where the user can enter in a stock name + quantity, and build a use case (or cases) that allows the program to display the current value of all the user's stocks (using a call to some stock price API), and maybe even how their value has changed, relative to some other time period.
