I’m creating simple, VERY SIMPLE programs that I can use to solve minor inconveniences just so I can like coding again.

September 7, 2025 – Value of my money in Hours

I was watching a youtube video on different money habits that make people richer. The first tip the video gave was to measure purchases by hours of work. I remember seeing an app for this and I was like, I can make a simple Java program for this.

So, I started my new personal github repo on micro-projects. No crazy dependencies or databases, just simple print statements and scanner inputs in Java. I just wanted to spark my interest in coding for FUN again.

I created a GitHub repo and started a new branch: ‘feature/hourly-value’ where I created this very simple program. Feel free to try it out yourself!

As a working adult now, money is something that is always on my mind. Having to practice delayed gratification is always hard when my hobbies are quite pricey (dance, travel, and LEGO). I figured having a program that can calculate this can help me not only save, but understand the value of my money and let myself spend when appropriate.
