The problem is because you’re not filtering the model fields by your user in the ExpenseForm (like you are doing in the ExpenseListView.get_queryset).

To do it, you will need to change a bit your logic. you can try something like this:

# forms.py
class ExpenseForm(forms.ModelForm):
    def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        # limit the category field queryset
        self.fields['category'] = forms.ModelChoiceField(
            queryset=user.category.all())
        )
    class Meta:
        model = Expense
        fields = ('name', 'amount', 'category')

# views.py
class ExpenseCreateView(CreateView):
    ...
    def get_form_kwargs(self):
        kwargs = super().get_form_kwargs()
        # inject the user in the form instantiation
        kwargs['user'] = self.request.user
        return kwargs
