ProFin is a python module for projecting the balance of a personal savings account
|
|
over a future period.
|
|
|
|
The output can be used to visualise the balance development when planning some big
|
|
purchase or a change of the living situation, such as buying a flat or a car,
|
|
getting a new job with possible months of no income, etc.

## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
The script uses NumPy, MatPlotLib and Pandas for plotting. This may be improved in a future version
|
|
(in particular Pandas could be replaced).
|
|
|
|
If plotting is not needed and the dependencies are not available (e.g. some old Debian),
|
|
remove their imports and comment out the graph() function
|
|
|
|
## Usage
