In the final project of this Python beginner course, we'll build a personal expense tracking app from scratch.

With this app, you'll learn how to get expense data from a user (via the terminal), save and categorize that expense into a spreadsheet. This project will take about an hour, and will test all of the Python skills you've learnt so far.

You'll learn how to plan, structure and implement a project all the way from an idea to a finished product — as well as seeing how you can solve new and unexpected problems.
