the code builds properly and works fine if you only want to calculate your budget once. but if you want to recalculate your budget, the second time through it does not read in the expenses from the file. the last line in the code (before ending the loop that encloses almost all of main) before return 0; is infile.close();
this should close the file so that it may be re-opened the second time through. if this line is not included, the program will crash because the file it is trying to read is already open. i can not figure out why it does not read in the expenses the second time through though. can anyone help?
below is the full code of this program. it is well commented, it builds, it runs, and i encourage any prospective helper to do so. please take your time and think about it for a while. i'm going to bed and i will find it tomorrow when i get up. thank you all for your time. it's greatly appreciated:

* This program calculates the budget of the user *
*in Alabama by first asking the hours and pay rate *
*for each week in a bi-weekly period. The program *
*then takes the expenses from a file and *
*calculates them, returning the surplus *
*as a savings suggestion. *
* *
* Problems with this program include: *
* 1. No user interface. *
* 2. Calculates only Alabama users. *
* 3. The user can not customize. *
* 4. Alabama tax is slightly overstated. *
