Bank Account Simulator
Build a simple bank account simulator from scratch in modern C++ with zero external dependencies. You model accounts as structs, process deposits and withdrawals with balance checks, record a transaction history, and save it all to a file. A grounded introduction to modelling data and enforcing rules.

What You'll Build
A menu-driven console app that opens accounts, handles deposits and withdrawals with overdraft protection, prints a running transaction log, and saves balances to a file.
Learning Objectives
- Model an account with a struct holding an owner, balance, and history
- Enforce rules such as rejecting withdrawals that exceed the balance
- Record each transaction in a std::vector for later display
- Format currency output with <iomanip> to two decimal places
- Persist and reload account state using file streams
- Route deposit, withdraw, and statement actions through a menu loop
