trackr-cli

A terminal-based smart expense tracker built in Python — raw, minimal, and fast.

Project 1 of my public learning journey from Python fundamentals → AI Engineering.

---

What it does

• Logs multiple expenses in a single session
• Stores each item and its cost
• Displays a clean summary with total spending on exit

Demo

What did you spend on?
 > coffee
How much?

What did you spend on?
 > rent
How much?
 > $1200

What did you spend on?
 > done

--- Your Expenses ---
coffee : 5
rent : 1200
---------------------
Total : $1205

cd trackr-cli
python expense_tracker.py

What I learned building this

• Variables, lists, and type casting
• while True loops with break
• String methods — .lower(), .strip()
• zip() and sum() for paired data
• f-strings for clean output
• Wrapping logic inside functions

Why I'm building this

I'm learning Python from scratch with the long-term goal of working on frontier AI models — training, fine-tuning, the real stuff. This is day one of that journey.
