Household Assets & Liabilities	Inventory of valuable assets (property, vehicles, electronics) and outstanding debts. Includes current market value and interest rates.
Task & Maintenance Scheduler	A calendar-style planner with recurring tasks (HVAC maintenance, lawn care), assigned owners, due dates, status indicators (Pending/Completed), and notes fields.
Performance Dashboard	An interactive summary page visualizing budget performance, savings progress, expense trends over time using dynamic charts and KPIs.
