The i-Save App

prototype image In 2017, research showed that Americans were not saving enough money for retirement if they were saving at all. We are living longer lives and spending more years in retirement but are not preparing for it properly. In the short-term, emergencies are particularly problematic. Only 54% of Americans could come up with $400 in an emergency without borrowing or selling possessions. There are plenty of applications and software available to help people focus on money, but little research is done to show how well the products affect people's spending and savings habits. This application will be used as a tool to determine if its use will actually cause people to save more money than they would without it.
