Comment on How does this math work?

This calculation is a bit wrong.

Lets say for example you keep spending 5 after your first payment, then your totals at the bottom would be wrong and would look like this.

The correct way to do this is to accumulate the expenditure as your balance goes down, so that total for both spend and balance equals 50.

I hope this makes sense.
