So, here is my code:

self.name = name

```

    total = 0
    for i in range(len(self.ledger)):
        total += self.ledger[i]['amount']
    if total >= amount:
        return True
    else:
        return False
    
def withdraw(self,amount, description=""):
     
     if Category.check_funds(self,amount) == True:
        self.ledger.append({"amount":-amount, "description":description})
        return True
     else:
        return False
    
def get_balance(self):
    total = 0
    for i in range(len(self.ledger)):
        total += self.ledger[i]['amount']
        
    return total #unformated
    #return "{:.2f}".format(total)

    
def transfer(self,amount,destination):
    self.destination = destination
    
    #make new withdraw instructions
    if Category.check_funds(self,amount) == True:
        #if return is True, append to ledger
        self.ledger.append({"amount":-amount, "description":"Transfer to "+destination.name})
        #make new deposit instructions
        destination.ledger.append({"amount":amount, "description":"Transfer from "+self.name})
        return True
    else:
        return False
    
    
    
    
def __str__ (self):#amount, description?
    
    Formatted = "{:*^30}"
    title= (Formatted.format(self.name)) +'\n'
    
    
    #get_balance and store in total_balance variable
    total_balance = Category.get_balance(self)
    #total_balance = "{:.2f}".format(total_balance)
    #convert to decimal with two digits after period, if not already a decimal
    items = ''
  
    self.items_lst = []

        if len(str("{:.2f}".format(self.ledger[i]['amount']))) > 7:

        else:

I have enclosed a screen shot of the Repl.it error:

 ![replit_error](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/freecodecamp/original/3X/5/1/51e2ea71f30606a987eb3167a68366139a9c2dad.jpeg)  
I don’t know what the error is telling me. Please help!
