Abstract

How do people keep track of their money? In this paper we present a preliminary scoping study of how 14 individuals in the San Francisco Bay Area earn, save, spend and understand money and their personal and family finances. We describe the practices we developed for exploring the sensitive topic of money, and then discuss three sets of findings. The first is the emotional component of the relationship people have with their finances. Second, we discuss the tools and processes people used to keep track of their financial situation. Finally we discuss how people account for the unknown and unpredictable nature of the future through their financial decisions. We conclude by discussing the future of studies of money and finance in HCI, and reflect on the opportunities for improving tools to aid people in managing and planning their finances.
金钱万能:追踪个人财务状况
人们如何记录他们的钱?在本文中,我们对旧金山湾区的14个人如何赚钱、储蓄、消费和理解金钱及其个人和家庭财务状况进行了初步的范围研究。我们描述了我们为探索金钱这个敏感话题而开发的实践,然后讨论了三组发现。首先是人们与财务关系的情感成分。其次,我们讨论了人们用来跟踪其财务状况的工具和流程。最后,我们讨论了人们如何通过他们的财务决策来考虑未来的未知和不可预测的本质。最后,我们讨论了HCI中货币和金融研究的未来,并反思了改进工具以帮助人们管理和规划财务的机会。
