Did its thingA financial-education app built for SunLife’s ConUHacks challenge: see your money’s trajectory, with inflation doing its worst in the projection.

The story
Most people have never seen their own financial trajectory drawn out. For SunLife’s challenge at ConUHacks 2024, the fix was a projector: enter your income, assets, expenses, and goals, and watch your net worth curve unfold over decades — with inflation eroding it honestly instead of being politely ignored.
A Python backend computes post-tax income under Canadian account rules and allocates funds across account types; the React frontend renders the interactive trajectory. Dockerized, demoed, done in a weekend.
