🔹 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺

In my 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺, I faced a challenge while inserting records into the 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗧𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. The issue was ensuring that 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁. Here’s how I handled it:

✅ 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 – This field should be 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 in the UI because it is automatically updated based on expenses.

✅ 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – If the Spent Amount exceeds the Monthly Limit, the system should 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 instead of blocking the user from adding expenses.

✅ 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – I added a new field IsOverBudget in the database. If the Spent Amount goes over the limit, it marks the budget as 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 instead of stopping the expense entry. This way, users can track their overspending.

💡 𝗠𝘆 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵: Instead of 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀 from adding expenses, I allow them with a 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. This gives flexibility while still tracking over-budget spending.

🤔 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸? 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁, 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵? 𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀! 🚀
