How to take input from User in this scenario

I am new to programming, RightNow I am following some online tutorials (from Microsoft). This is my code, so far I hardcoded values like cash to deposit or cash to withdraw, my question is very simple how to take input from the user.

        var savings = new SavingAccount("Saving Account", 10000);
        savings.MakeDeposite(1000, DateTime.Now, "Saving from Laptop");
        savings.MakeDeposite(525, DateTime.Now, "Saving from Hard-drive");
        savings.MakeWithdrawal(2500, DateTime.Now, "Needed for buying goods");
        savings.PerformMonthEndTransactions();
        Console.WriteLine(savings.GetAccountHistory());


        var currents = new CurrentAccount("Current Account", 0, 1000);
        currents.MakeDeposite(150000, DateTime.Now, "Salary Transfered");
        currents.MakeWithdrawal(25000, DateTime.Now, "Pay bills");
        currents.MakeWithdrawal(50000, DateTime.Now, "Rent");
        currents.PerformMonthEndTransactions();
        Console.WriteLine(currents.GetAccountHistory());

do I need to do some changes in the constructor as well? this is my constructor

    public BankAccount(string name, decimal initialBalance) : this(name, initialBalance, 0) { }

    public BankAccount(string name, decimal initialBalance, decimal minimumBalance)
    {
        //this.Owner = name;
        //this.Balance = initialBalance;
        this.Number = accountNumberSeed.ToString();
        accountNumberSeed++;

        this.Owner = name;
        this.minimumBalance = minimumBalance;
        if(initialBalance > 0)
        MakeDeposite(initialBalance, DateTime.Now, "Initial Balance");
    }

Per @Johnny Mopp, you can use Console.ReadLine() to get the input from user.

For example:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.Write("Specify your amount: ");

    if (decimal.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out decimal amount))
        Console.WriteLine("amount entered: " + amount);
    else
        Console.WriteLine("Conversion of user input to decimal failed.");
}
