Vader logs into MoneyManager and views Luke’s budget. Seeing that his son has spent 70 credits in one night on recreation (but remembering his own college years), he agrees to give Luke another 50 credits for the month. Luke modifies his budget to include this new allowance and wisely does not return to the cantina that month.

The design prioritizes learnability over safety (poor error correction) and efficiency (lengthy navigation), which makes it better for parents who don't know how to use apps and don't mind extra navigation if it's easy to follow, but not as good for students who want to do things quickly.

Overall, this UI prioritizes efficiency (and to some degree safety) over learnability. This is good for our student users, but not as great for our parent users, so user testing would help determine how well they're able to cope with this compromise.
