Overview

This PR creates a comprehensive README.md file to introduce and document the Saving Money Project, transforming the repository from a minimal placeholder into a well-documented personal finance management tool.

Changes Made

Replaced the basic placeholder README (# testRepo) with a complete, professional README that includes:

  • Project Introduction: Clear description of the Saving Money Project as a personal finance management tool designed to help users track, manage, and optimize their savings goals

  • Feature Set: Documented six core features including goal setting, expense tracking, budget management, progress visualization, savings tips, and financial reports

  • Getting Started Guide: Provided installation instructions and a step-by-step usage workflow to help new users understand how to use the project

  • Project Structure: Outlined the current repository layout with room for future expansion

  • Contributing Guidelines: Added standard contribution workflow to encourage community participation

  • Roadmap: Included a checklist of planned features such as data visualization, mobile-responsive interface, multi-currency support, and banking API integration

  • Additional Sections: Added License reference, Support information, and Acknowledgments

Design Approach

The README was intentionally written to be:

  • Technology-agnostic: Flexible enough to accommodate future technical implementation decisions
  • User-focused: Emphasizes benefits and practical usage rather than technical details
  • Professional: Follows standard README best practices and conventions
  • Extensible: Includes placeholders for future technical details as the project develops

This provides a solid foundation for the project's documentation while leaving room for the technical implementation to evolve.

Original prompt

Write the readme to introduce the saving money project
