PFT - Personal Finance Tracker

PFT uses SQLite to interact with a database to perform basic personal finance functions.

The goal is to help the user create, maintain, and manipulate a zero-based envelope style budget.

TODO:

• Add more to the README.
• Add more features.
  • Make all transactions editable (date/amount/envelopes/etc...)
  • Use expected income and expected expenses to start a budget.
  • Create full budget with remaining funds.
  • Use budget to 'fund' envelopes for beginning of month operations.
  • CSV/YNAB/QIF Importation.
  • CSV/YNAB/QIF Exportation.
  • Web Scrape online account pages for transaction info.
• Use real documentation practices to document all documentable things.
• Implement input validation and loops to 'robust-icize' application.
  • Make sure transactions that leave balances < 0 are intended.
• Implement GUI so people dont get scared off by command-line.
• Figure out data analysis for fun graphs/charts.
  • Net Worth line graph
  • Cash Flow line graph
  • Account Balance line graph
  • Expense pie chart
  • Income pie chart
• Figure out how to make mobile utility for viewing balances/creating transactions.
• Package PFT for cross platform quick and easy deployment.
• Add to this list.
• Re-learn everything.
