The actual balance still exists and is added to when we subsequently add funds. Shouldn't the balance keep the value present before the action that triggered the insufficient funds alert.

5,205 PointsHey Christopher Badger I'm confused about the same thing. I'm tempted to just leave that argument blank in the dismissAlert() function. I think that might have been a typo or something.
Btw, Chukwuebuka Willie-Nwobu I think you might be confusing the Balance with the Total. The Total is how much is due for the current selection and the Balance is the amount of money the user is free to spend.
G'day!
