While Quitting Out Early

It it supposed to ask for the month, year, and total amount 5 times. After I enter two months it closes. It has something to do with too many characters, if I just spam 1 1 1 over I can enter the correct amount of times. This isn't entirely finished but I cannot add anything until this is cleared.

when you read a number you leave a '\n' in the input buffer
then a geltine operation will read that line-break giving you an empty string, so later input operations are out of sync

you may do cin >> totamount; cin.ignore(); to discard the line break
or as an alternative getline(cin>>ws, month); to ignore any whitespace at the front.

That worked perfectly! Thank you so much. I had already cleaned up the endl, just forgot to remove it beforehand
