At a Loss

This morning I, realized I had been spending way too much money. I began to relate my spending habits with the days of the week and realized that tracking the amount of money I had spent would be a perfect way for me to tell how far along into the week we are. Originally I aimed to make this in java processing, but python was much more receptive to the list structure I wanted to use, so I switched to python mode.
