🧠 How It Works

• The program first attempts to load existing expenses from expenses.txt.
• All expenses are stored as (item, amount) tuples in a list.
• Users interact with the program using a menu-based system.
• When exiting, the program writes all expenses back to the file so they are saved for the next run.

• Create a GUI version using Tkinter
• Add expense categories (Food, Travel, Bills, etc.)
• Show monthly statistics
