Tell us what’s happening:

My brain is melting, Ive been at this for 4 hours straight. I can not for the life of me figure out what Im doing wrong. Im going to bed and will check up on this post tomorrow. Thanks for any help/pointers.

Your code so far

class Category:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self.ledger = []

    def deposit(self, amount, description=""):
        self.ledger.append({'amount': amount, 'description': description})

    def withdraw(self, amount, description=""):
        if not self.check_funds(amount):
            return False
        else:
            self.ledger.append({'amount': -amount, 'description': description})
            return True
    
    def get_balance(self):
        return sum([entry['amount'] for entry in self.ledger])

    def check_funds(self, amount):
        if amount > self.get_balance():
            return False
        else:
            return True

    def transfer(self, amount, category):
        if not self.check_funds(amount):
            return False
        else:
            self.withdraw(amount, "Transfer to " + category.name)
            category.deposit(amount, "Transfer from " + self.name)
            return True

    def __str__(self):
        output = self.name.center(30, "*")
        for entry in self.ledger:
            output += "\n" + entry['description'][:23].ljust(23) + f"{entry['amount']:.2f}".rjust(7)
        output += "\nTotal: " + f"{self.get_balance():.2f}"
        return output


def create_spend_chart(categories):
    spent = [abs(sum([entry['amount'] for entry in category.ledger if entry['amount'] < 0])) for category in categories]    
    total = sum(spent)
    percentages = [int((amount / total) * 100) // 10 * 10 for amount in spent]
    chart = "Percentage spent by category\n"
    for i in range(100, -1, -10):
        chart += str(i).rjust(3) + "|"
        for p in percentages:
            if p >= i:
                chart += " o"
            else:
                chart += "  "
        chart += "\n"
    chart += "    " + "-" * (len(categories) * 3 + 1) + "\n"
    max_len = max(len(category.name) for category in categories)
    for l in range(0, max_len):
        chart += "    "
        for category in categories:
            if l < len(category.name):
                chart += " " + category.name[l]
            else:
                chart += "  "
        chart += "  \n"
    print(chart)
    return chart.rstrip("\n")

food = Category("Food")
food.deposit(1000, "initial deposit")
food.withdraw(10.15, "groceries")
clothing = Category("Clothing")
food.transfer(50, clothing)
print(create_spend_chart([food, clothing]))

The spaces around the bars and category letters are inconsistent, causing columns to misalign, and the missing space at the end of each line makes the lines shorter than the horizontal bar below.
