Challenge
Create the BudgetList class to Display Budget Overages
To track expenses that are within budget, we're going to create a class that has one list for in-budget expenses and another list for overages. We'll also make an iterator for this class so that it can seamlessly iterate over both lists.

Challenge
Finish Making BudgetList an Iterable
In this module we'll finish creating the BudgetList class to add an iterator that is able to loop through both the expenses and overages list.

Challenge
Categorizing expenses into separate sets
In this module we're going to categorize our spending data into different sets. This will set everything up so that we can chart a comparison between different spending categories in the next module.

Challenge
Timing Set Comprehension and Plotting Categories
In this module, we will use the Python timeit module to time whether categorizing expenses was faster using a for loop or set comprehension. Then we will create a pie chart that compares the different spending categories.
