Finance Fairy

Inspiration

• spoke with many panicked people during the covid19 pandemic -> unable to meet their financial obligations such as rent, car payments, etc., retirement funds took a bigger hit than they could afford in the stock market
• while sitting down to help my sister (who is a recent college graduate and a new nurse in this pandemic) budget, start an emergency fund and plan her finances, i wanted to create something that people like her, my parents, and many others could utilize easily without relying on financial advisors at banks who will often try to sell their own products to customers
