Build a Budget App - Build a Budget App Test 16

Python
1

Tell us what’s happening:

Hi, am stuck on test 16 regarding the str output when the class is printed. I painstakingly got the desired output but fail to bypass the test 16 check. Did a lot of manual formatting since I don’t think it was taught anywhere on how to easily align the strings and I saw it as a stupid challenge. Looking around on the forum, people seem to pull the functions out of thin air as well. Would appreciate if someone can look at my mess and give me some tips on how to approach it? Thank you :slight_smile:

Your code so far

Woah turns out I can! I just had to clean up and make sure the method returns the entire string properly. :exploding_head:
