Problem
Every month ends with the same question — "where did it go?" — and the existing answers are either spreadsheets that demand discipline or finance apps that track money while ignoring the habits that spend it. The link between daily behavior and monthly outcome stays invisible.
Solution
A tracker that treats habits and money as one dataset: income and expense logging with category budgets, habit tracking wired to spending behavior, and dashboard views that answer the monthly question at a glance. Built end to end — PostgreSQL schema, Django API, typed React interface — with no one else's architecture decisions in the way.

What I Learned
Building for yourself is the harshest user testing: if logging an expense takes more than a few seconds, you stop, and the product dies. TypeScript across the API boundary paid for itself the first time the schema changed.
