The process of adding a debt was universally confusing to people. This is something we did not expect, but we can see how it would be the case: adding a new debt requires navigating to a separate page, without any indication that it is related to the original record you were modifying. Furthermore, adding more than one debt requires taking you to yet another page: although this linked-list style of debt recording was convenient to implement, it is not a style of interface which users are generally used to. Ideally, we would fold the debts page into the record page, such that users would have immediate feedback that the debt they are adding is related to an individual record.

Suggestions:
-Add debits should be it's own tab, the process of recording a spending vs. recording a debt can sometime be confusing to the user.
-The transfer option is kind of confusing because you can’t really transfer cash to cash, some type of of lock their would make it a bit simpler for the user.
