Why Build Your Own Tracker?
Yes, there are expense tracking apps, but just like with other apps, many have downside:
- Subscriptions that suck your bank account dry (I know, right?)
- Privacy concerns — who wants their spending habits sold to advertisers?
- Not customized to your preferences and lifestyle.
Building your own tracker means that you:
- Know how it works, exactly.
- Tweak it according to your requirement.
