Millennium Fellowship Project: Daily Expense Tracker (DET)
The main audience for the Daily Expense Tracker is young people aged 15-24. This group often deals with managing limited money from part-time jobs, allowances, or student loans. They are familiar with technology and look for easy tools to help them manage their finances. By using DET, young people can learn to track their daily spending, which helps them understand their money better and make smart choices as they grow up.
