Hi there,

I started out with Python about two days ago, it's my very first shot at 
programming and I find it quite interesting. Anyway I'll get to the point:

I made a simple script that works, albeit not the shortest way I think 
but it works, however I would like to make it a bit more "fancy" though 
I'm getting an error. Below is my first script that works, the second 
script doesn't work, the error I get on the second script is simple, but 
I can't seem to figure out how to fix it, also, if there's a shorter way 
of doing this effectively, please help :) .

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

Basic working program: http://pastebin.com/f2f7f3cd5
Non-working program: http://pastebin.com/f4da62e57

Thanks in advance for any help contributed.
