A bit about the inner workings

• Entries are defined with the following properties:
  • Id
  • Title, Description
  • Value
  • Category id

• Categories are defined as a dictionary:
  • Id
  • Name
• Class ExpenseManager provides an abstraction over these two constructs. It contains methods that allow data handling, data storage, data sanitation and data validation.
