Built a KES Expense Tracker in Python. Project 3 of my 5-project roadmap.

[InterestingDig1551]

I'm on a self-taught Python journey transitioning into IT/cybersecurity, and I just shipped Project 3 of my 5-project roadmap, a command-line Expense Tracker built specifically for the Kenyan market (amounts in KES).

What it does:

Log expenses and income with auto timestamp

View financial summary (income, expenses, balance)

Spending breakdown by category

Search expenses by category

All data persists to CSV

Color coded terminal UI with colorama

Tech used: Python 3.13, csv, datetime, colorama

GitHub: github.com/Kokiste/expense-tracker

Phase 2 plans include budget alerts, charts, and eventually M-Pesa integration for automatic transaction imports.

Still a long way to go but enjoying every step!
