This repository powers the personal finance blog 'OfDollarsAndData.com'. It is primarily a data research collection, consisting of hundreds of R scripts that import, clean, and analyze financial and economic datasets to produce publication-ready charts, tables, and interactive calculators for blog posts. The data lineage is clear: raw data is downloaded or read from external sources (Shiller S&P 500, FRED, BLS, Survey of Consumer Finances, YCharts, etc.) in import/ scripts, transformed and saved as RDS files in build/ scripts, and then consumed by analysis/ scripts that generate plots with a consistent ggplot theme. The repository also includes a webdev folder containing a WordPress theme with custom widgets and calculator embedding logic. While the codebase is not a packaged application and lacks testing or CI, the analysis is thorough and well-structured for its purpose. The hybrid nature includes both data research R scripts and web development PHP/JS code, but the dominant character is data research.
