Personal Finance Tracker – Project Setup

Welcome to Part 2 of the Personal Finance Tracker series! In this session, we’ll set up the project environment and prepare everything needed to start building the application. You’ll configure the tools, initialize the project, and establish a clean structure for scalable development.

This step ensures your workspace is ready for adding features like income tracking, expenses, and financial summaries.

✅ What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✔️ Initializing the project (React / Next.js / Vite setup as applicable)
✔️ Installing required dependencies and libraries
✔️ Setting up folder structure for components, pages, and utilities
✔️ Configuring basic styling (CSS or Tailwind setup)
✔️ Running the project locally to verify successful setup

💡 Why This Step Matters:
🔹 Creates a solid foundation for future development
🔹 Prevents structural and configuration issues later
🔹 Encourages clean, maintainable project organization
🔹 Prepares the app for adding real-world finance features
