💸 Expense Tracker 2.0

A simple command-line expense tracker built with Python to practice object-oriented programming (OOP), user input handling, and exception handling.

✨ Features

• ➕ Add a new expense with an item name, cost, category, and description
• 📋 View all recorded expenses
• 🧮 Calculate total expenses
• 🛡️ Handle invalid input and prevent negative expense amounts
• 💻 Interactive command-line menu

🛠️ Technologies Used

• Python 3
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
• Lists and loops
• Exception handling

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

Install Python 3 on your computer.

Run the project

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/uhsadiaa-dev/Expense_Tracker2.0.git

2. Open the project folder:

   cd Expense-Tracker

3. Run the program (replace main.py with your actual Python filename if needed):

   python main.py

📸 How It Works

Run the program and use the menu to add expenses, view your recorded expenses, calculate your total spending, or exit.

📚 What I Learned

• Creating classes and objects
• Using __init__() to initialize object attributes
• Using __str__() to display expense information
• Managing expenses with a list
• Validating user input with try and except
• Using loops and conditional statements to build a menu-driven application

🔮 Future Improvements

• Support decimal amounts
• Add the ability to delete expenses
• Save expenses to a CSV file
• Organize expenses by category
• Analyze spending with NumPy
