Default Data Validation - allowing only negative numbers or converting

In the cells they will be entering this negative number:
Data--Validation
Allow: Decimal
Data: Less than or equal to
Maximum: 0

NOTE: You can change DATA to Less than as needed.

I'm building a model where end-users must input expenses and revenues. In
the expense section I'd like to ensure that numbers are entered as negatives,
or if they are entered as positives build a formula in the data validation
section that would automatically convert them to negative numbers. Any idea
on how to do this?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks!
