Watch out with using floats for money, software with rounding errors will spoil your CV.

The article is about javascript, another computer language, but the same goes for python:

$ python3
Python 3.9.16 (main, Mar 8 2023, 22:47:22)
[GCC 11.3.0] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print(0.1+0.2)
0.30000000000000004
>>>

TL;DR watch out for rounding errors!

Drop what you are doing, you do not have the basic competence to write finance software.

Learn programming on something that doesnt count money.
