I’m diving deep into Beancount, about two weeks in, now, and I’m really liking what I’m seeing; kudos to everyone who’s written software and documentation to make getting started relatively painless!
I was a YNAB user for a bit but fell off the wagon. I’m looking to replicate the budgeting aspects of that product, in addition to tracking investments. I’m off to a good start. I’m ultimately trying to track expenses and budgets for myself and also my household; like others my partner and I have “mine” and “ours” buckets of money and it’s served us well, but both “mine” and “ours” could use some budgeting. I’ve been attempting to virtually separate those buckets within a single Beancount ledger, but I’m suspecting that I may end up having separate ledgers… I’ve started looking at fava-envelope, but I’m not sure it can do what I would like: designate AssetA as the budget account for ExpenseA, and AssetB as the budget account for ExpenseB and ExpenseB’. Is that possible with fava-envelope? If not, is there another envelope budgeting extension that might come closer? I’d also be interested in hearing about other approaches to managing budgets with Beancount that isn’t just trying to ape YNAB! 😄 Thanks, Brian — Brian Lalor (he/him) bla...@bravo5.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
