BUDGET-O-MATIC

Balance the books, programmer style.

I made this for my own use since spreadsheets just don't do the things I want them to in any reasonably simple way.

THE COOL PART: Specify new items in a really cool way:

s.register("every week from jan 7 to aug 19", (-2000, "You are terrible at personal finance"))

Write out your time periods in words rather than learning some weird new syntax! The supported inputs are quite diverse; check out the Recurrent library to see some more examples.

How to use

Download this repository.

All dependencies are already included. You don't need Pip, you don't need Virtualenv, nothing but plain old Python 3.

Edit budget.py to specify your start time, end time, and budget entries.

When done editing, run budget.py using Python 3. It will print out a nice summary like the one you see in the screenshot above.
