Expense Tracker

Problem: Many people struggle to keep track of their expenses and manage their budgets effectively.
Having an organized system to monitor and analyze expenses can help individuals make informed
financial decisions.

Solution: Develop an expense tracker application that allows users to record and analyze their
expenses easily. The application will use Python file handling to store the expense data locally and
Python-SQL connectivity to enable advanced querying and reporting capabilities.

Features:

1. Expense Recording: Provide an interface for users to input their expenses, including the date,
category, description, and amount spent. Save this data to a local file or SQLite database
using Python file handling and SQL.

2. Expense Analysis: Implement various analytical features to help users gain insights into their
spending habits. These could include generating expense reports, visualizing spending
patterns using charts or graphs, and calculating monthly or category-wise expense
summaries.

3. Budget Management: Enable users to set monthly or category-wise budgets. The application
should notify users when they exceed their budget limits and provide suggestions for better
financial management.

Code:

import datetime

def add_expense(description, amount):

timestamp = datetime.datetime.now()

expense = f"{timestamp} - {description}: Rs{amount}"

with open("expenses.txt", "a") as file:

file.write(expense + "\n")

print("Expense added successfully.")


def view_expenses():

with open("expenses.txt", "r") as file:

expenses = file.readlines()

if not expenses:

print("No expenses found.")

else:

print("Expenses:")

for expense in expenses:

print(expense.strip())

while True:

print("\nExpense Tracker")

print("1. Add Expense")

print("2. View Expenses")

print("3. Exit")

choice = input("Enter your choice (1-3): ")

if choice == "1":

description = input("Enter a description: ")

amount = float(input("Enter the amount: Rs"))

add_expense(description, amount)

elif choice == "2":

view_expenses()

elif choice == "3":

break

else:

print("Invalid choice. Please try again.")

print("Goodbye!")
Output: -
