Introduction to Next.js and Tailwind CSS

Next.js is a powerful React framework that enables developers to create fast, server-rendered applications with ease. Tailwind CSS, on the other hand, is a utility-first CSS framework that provides a highly customizable and efficient way to style your web applications. Together, they form a perfect combination for building modern web applications.

Setting Up Your Environment

To get started, you'll need to have Node.js and npm installed on your machine. Begin by creating a new Next.js project and adding Tailwind CSS to it. This process is straightforward and can be completed in a few simple steps.

Creating a Responsive Layout

With Next.js and Tailwind CSS, creating responsive layouts is effortless. Tailwind's utility classes allow you to design and implement responsive elements directly in your JSX, ensuring a consistent look and feel across all devices.

Benefits of Using Next.js and Tailwind CSS

Before we get knee-deep into the app, we want to give you a brief overview of our unique method for managing money that has helped so many people take control of their finances. No one taught you how to budget? Consider this your crash course. If you’re already familiar with the four rules of YNAB, skip ahead to the next step!

Harness the power of a zero-based budget

Envelope budgeting is the original zero-based budget, we just transformed it into a more convenient digital version. With zero-based budgeting, you take all the money you have right now (like actually in your bank account), and divvy it up across bills, debt, and savings until you have zero dollars left to allocate. Every time you get paid, you will decide what those dollars need to do before you get paid again. Zero-based budgeting means you’re firmly in charge of your finances and have more clarity to make financial decisions big and small.Harness the power of a zero-based budget

Spending statements

What are all the things you need to pay for each month? Recent bank or credit cards statements come in handy here. Bonus points if you know the due dates of your individual bills! If you don’t have exact figures, no big deal—when in doubt, aim high!

‍Account credentials

Whether you’re pulling your spending records for reference or connecting your accounts (which is completely optional), you’ll need your login credentials for these accounts. Dust off those usernames, unearth those forgotten passwords. Set up your mission control!

An open mind

We know it isn’t easy, but try and forget everything you think you know about budgeting. Don’t let any past experiences, assumptions, or perceived failures hold you back any further. Today is a fresh start, a clean slate.
