Scientific Computing with Python Projects - Budget App - README.md - check_funds method.

See original GitHub issue

I think the description of the check_funds method (https://repl.it/@freeCodeCamp/fcc-budget-app#README.md) is faulty.

It should be: “A check_funds method that accepts an amount as an argument. It returns False if the amount is greater than the balance of the budget category and returns True otherwise. This method should be used by both the withdraw method and transfer method.” This is more logical, makes the code simpler and actually works with the tests.

Just mirrored the changes from @IamSurrett’s PR in the Repl.it project: https://repl.it/@freeCodeCamp/fcc-budget-app#README.md

Thanks again everyone for your suggestions, reviews, and for this fix.

@Sky020, no problem. I think it could work the other way around, we would just need to change the description a bit more and maybe change the method name to something like over_budget.

I heard back from @beaucarnes and he agrees that changing the README makes the most sense. The wording that @carbasemin suggested sounds good to me.
