After i enter the budget given, it prints out the next question and just gives the percent calculation. I dont know why it skips over the budget_spent input.

I think it has something do with the '$' entry. when i leave out the '$' then it works fine.

I took the cin.ignore() and put it before the first cin.peek and i put one before the second cin.peek. it works but im not exactly sure how.
