Remember when I said that baking pupcakes can help you with your financial wellness journey? Well, I decided to have a little fun with that concept. Allow me to introduce you to YAPPiE Hour, the Custom GPT I created while participating in the DiverseForce GameChangers Program.
WHAT’S YAPPiE HOUR
YAPPiE Hour is designed to act as a financial wellness life coach and help you achieve your savings goal by spending time with their dog. YAPPiE Hour emphasizes savings, financial goal setting, and integrating self-care activities with dogs into the financial wellness journey. It’s my way of adding technology to my self-care routine.
FINANCIAL WELLNESS
Financial wellness is finding the healthy and balanced approach to managing money. It involves being informed, making strategic decisions, and planning for your future. However, sometimes we get so focused on the goal that we forget to enjoy the journey and all the experiences that come with it. So, I decided to build YAPPiE Hour around the fun part of saving money by including quality time with your dog into the mix.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
First, type your savings goal. The goal is up to you. YAPPiE Hour will even give you a prompt to use to help you clearly define your savings goal, the amount you want to save, and the timeframe you want to achieve the goal. After you type in your goal using the prompt, YAPPiE Hour will then give you a personalized weekly savings plan with a breakdown of how much you should save each week to reach your goal in the timeframe provided.
HERE’S THE FUN PART
Your weekly savings plan will also include a list of 5 simple bonding activities you can do with your dog. Each activity includes a monetary value to save. At the end of the week, tell YAPPiE Hour what activities on the list you completed. Based on the activities you completed, YAPPiE Hour will add up the value for the activity and tell you how much money to add to your savings account.
Not only have you saved some money towards your goal, but you’ve also gotten a chance to spend some quality time with your dog. After you report what you’ve completed, YAPPiE Hour will also give you five more activities to complete the in your savings plan for the upcoming week. This will repeat until you reach your savings goal.
THINK OF SAVINGS AS A GAME
YAPPiE Hour includes a motivational quote as well as a financial wellness tip with your weekly savings plans. The goal is to give you as many resources as you need to make saving money a custom self-care experience. Each time you hit your savings goal YAPPiE Hour will also celebrate your progress. Once you achieve your savings goal, you can use YAPPiE Hour to help you with your next savings goal. YAPPiE Hour is also a great resource to teach young people about saving money.
YAPPiE Hour is not just a personal tool; it’s also a fantastic resource for teaching young people about the value of saving. By making financial literacy fun and engaging, it opens the door for a new generation to learn about managing money responsibly.
