Personal Finance Management System

This project is a MERN-style personal finance dashboard built for a college demo.

It uses:

• React for the dashboard UI
• Express for the backend
• JSON file storage in data/db.json instead of MongoDB

Main sections

• Dashboard
• Income
• Expenses
• Budget
• Reports / Analytics

Run both together

npm --prefix client install
npm run dev

Run separately

node server/index.js

cd client
npm install
npm run dev

Flow

1. Signup with name, email, and password.
2. The account is saved in data/db.json.
3. Login with the same credentials.
4. The dashboard loads your saved finance data and lets you add income, expenses, and budgets.
