[Tutor] Income calculator

[Boykie Mackay]

I don't know if it's any help,but the line mentioned in the error
message;

File "./pyfinances.py", line 18
>            print "Your expected earnings for %s is %d" %
>         (financeLogs['month'], 
>         financeLogs['total'])
>                ^

doesn't seem to be properly formatted.There should be a comma after the
closing quotation marks,a closing bracket after the first variable and a
% sign before the next i.e:

> print "Your expected earnings for %s is %d", %(financeLogs['month']),%
> financeLogs['total'])

Hope above works!
