The level feature in the app is not just a points system—it's a fully immersive experience designed to make budgeting both rewarding and fun. The app transforms mundane financial tasks into a dynamic game where every action you take earns you XP (Experience Points) and progresses you through levels that are uniquely represented by minerals, jewels, and precious gems. Each new level symbolizes a higher mastery of your financial habits.


Here’s how this system stands out:

  • Visual Progression: Instead of just numbers going up, your growth is visually represented by minerals and gems. You might start with common minerals and work your way up to rare gems, offering a sense of tangible progression that you can be proud of.

  • Action Variety: The diversity of actions that earn XP makes the experience rich and dynamic. It’s not just about logging transactions—every part of your financial journey contributes:

    • Allocate and reallocate funds to different categories to gain control over your money.

    • Complete targets, whether paying off debt or saving for a vacation.

    • Extend streaks, encouraging you to keep up consistent financial habits.

    • Even unique and fun actions like Easter egg hunts or performing early check-ins reward you for staying on top of your game.

  • Friendly Competition: The XP you collect not only reflects your progress but also fuels your participation in the Monthly League. Competing in this league takes the gamification to another level, as you’re not just playing for personal growth but to compare and challenge others in a community setting. It’s a leaderboard that adds a friendly edge, pushing you to try harder, level up faster, and master your budgeting skills.

  • Positive Reinforcement: Each time you level up, you get a rewarding sense of accomplishment. The app isn’t just tracking your budget—it’s celebrating every achievement, encouraging you to stick to your financial goals in a more engaging way than traditional apps.

  • Customization and Learning: The app adapts as you use it, learning from your interactions with merchants, and rewarding you for completing specific actions consistently. Plus, the gamified system integrates learning and goal setting in a playful way, ensuring that while you’re having fun, you’re also becoming a better money manager.

The gamification elements turn the budgeting experience into a completely different budgeting experience—one that takes away the monotony and transforms your financial life into a game where every action has a reward. It’s a system designed to not only help you achieve financial success but also to make the journey enjoyable, keeping you motivated and engaged every step of the way.

If you're more on the serious side, or just need a break from the fun, you can turn off the gamification feature anytime in settings. No pressure!
