That is a simple every day Database Application. Also our customers are 
happily using some old BDE applications every day in their Win7 64-bit 
machines.

Your budgeting data can not contain any such things that could not be 
done with standard Database Controls in Delphi.

If your main task and interest is in writing applications, and not 
creating new Delphi Components, then your best used time is not trying 
to learn more deeply about OOP. You should just put some more effort to 
try learning how to use Table, Query, TMemoryDataset, TDbgrid, TDbEdit 
etc controls. They can easily solve your whole problem.

The old MastApp application in your \Delphi\Demos sub directory is a 
good starting point to see how those DB things work.
