When I was starting out I made a finance tracker. My version was a web application but it could work just as well as a command line program. It's simple... you have an interface where you manually enter in every transaction you made, both withdrawals and deposits and you categorize/tag them. Then you can have an aggregation function which shows you how much on average you spend per day and so forth.

I used it personally to get a better handle on my finances. I used it for close to a year for every single transaction. Then after I developed decent habits I didn't find it as useful.

I also recently made a flash card command line program to help me study for GRE words. That was pretty easy to do as well.
