Quantitative research
It's known as an Indirect Research Method. Here data is gathered indirectly about users attitudes and behaviors. The data is collected by survey or analysis tools. It provides evidence and predictions.
I decided to take a survey of millennials. So my target audience age group is between 24-39 years.
The survey helped me to get an insight into their expense tracking habits. Also their behavior for expenditure and savings.
Survey insights
Competitor Analysis
​While keeping the above statistic in mind, I compare 3 apps to get an overall knowledge about the working and user interface. It was noticed that the apps which track the expenditure did not manage any budget.

Challenges
This was my second project as UX/UI Designer. handling such a detailed project was a challenge in itself, a challenge I believe I handled well, and I aim to do even better in my next project. There were times when I lost my motivation and I felt like I had taken up a challenge I could not handle, but taking breaks to breathe and recollect my thoughts always helped me.
