This is a full stack capstone project built with React and Express. Fortune Empire keeps track of your personal finances, and to display your personal spending habits. The ultimate goal for this app is to help a user visualize their spending habits, and better manage their finances, while increasing their financial literacy. As a person who struggles to manage his own finances, I had the inspiration to build this app to help myself and others towards financial literacy.

Before I even began coding, I decided to narrow down what I specifically wnat for my application. Therefore, I drafted my user stories, database structure, the time allocated to build this project, and the steps I needed to get this into production.

My first step was to divided my user stories into four aspects: What information does my user need, what does my model for my server need, what RESTful APIs does the user need, and what design is best to accurately display to the user. Aftewards, I worked in concert with an instructor to hash out my Entity Relationship Diagram.

Once I had a finalized plan, I began working on the back end API, by setting up the Bills model and routes. To check if I successfully my work, I added curl scripts in order to see the information was correctly being added.

Finally, I progressed to working on the front end client to try and achieve minimum viable product. Once I confirmed the application was functional, I began working on the design.
