1. Clone the repository or download the budget_calculator.py file
2. Make the script executable (optional):

   chmod +x budget_calculator.py

python budget_calculator.py add <amount> <category> [--description "Description"]

Example:

python budget_calculator.py add 1500 Food --description "Weekly groceries"

python budget_calculator.py summary [--period weekly|monthly]

python budget_calculator.py set-period weekly
# or
python budget_calculator.py set-period monthly

• Food
• Transportation
• Housing
• Utilities
• Entertainment
• Shopping
• Others

1. Set your budget period to weekly:

   python budget_calculator.py set-period weekly

2. Add some expenses:

   python budget_calculator.py add 1200 Food
   python budget_calculator.py add 500 Transportation
   python budget_calculator.py add 3000 Housing

3. View your weekly summary:

   python budget_calculator.py summary

Your expense data is stored in a budget_data.json file in the same directory as the script. You can back up this file or move it to another location if needed.

You can modify the categories list in the script to add or remove expense categories as needed.
