FinAI: Bridging the Gap Between Financial Awareness and Practical Budgeting Through Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Let’s be honest: being a college student usually means dealing with some pretty messy money situations. We’re all trying to watch our spending and stick to a budget, but those last-minute splurges always seem to find us. This paper dives into those everyday struggles and suggests FinAI as a simple solution. The idea is to use AI and machine learning to automatically log expenses and give us financial tips that actually make sense for our lives. Basically, if we pair basic money smarts with this kind of tech, we can stop stressing about our bank accounts and start making choices that set us up for the future.
