Requirements

• Plaid Account and API Keys: A Plaid account can be crearted here.
• AWS Account and DynamoDb access: The app requires a DynamoDB table with the name ExpenseReports with a single string date key to be created. The app uses Dynamodb to store historical expense reports.

Run ./bin/spendthrift -h to see help options

Note

I wrote this app as a personal tool for my own needs. It is not intended to be a generic tool supporting multiple expense tracking use cases. Having said that, feel free to clone it and modify it to suite your own needs
