When it comes to personal finances, sinking funds are used to save gradual amounts each month for a future expense. This could be an expense that occurs every year or every 6 months. It could even be a one-time large purchase you want to intentionally set aside month for.
Setting aside money each month is easy enough with automatic savings transfers, or even with a pen and paper, if the scale is small enough. But it gets a bit more complicated the more you try to track over time. For me, I like to intentionally set aside savings for 5 or 6 periodic expenses and I quickly found this to be really annoying. So annoying in fact, that I just stopped doing it. That's where this program comes in.
This python application takes your inputs, prompting for necessary info and storing it in a json file. It then converts that json file into a pandas DataFrame to perform calculations and keep track of what you should be saving each month and how much you should be disbursing those funds to use.
Make it possible to add in a starting balance Make it toggleable for each fund to save 100% in the month prior vs. have the last portion saved on month of. Create reset option - this could be based off existing with a few manual changes. But maybe make easier?
