Hi! A new year has started and I try to get even more organized. So, I think it is time to keep track of my financial data, and I think orgmode is the way to go.
Yet, I am not sure how to keep the structure. I started with something quite simple like using a date structure and tables: *2008 **January ***01 | What | Cost | |-----------------+-------| | Milk | 0.50 | | Apples | 1.50 | | Butter | 0.89 | |-----------------+-------| | Sum | 2.89 | |-----------------+-------| | Library Penalty | 13.50 | | Library Copies | 3.00 | | Power Bill | 35.00 | |-----------------+-------| | Sum Total | xyz | But having a closer look at it, this does not seem that flexible. Using ColumnView to display the sum of a day might be one idea, adding tags like food, bill, wasted (Library Penalty :) etc. is another thing that comes to my mind. Orgmode became so flexible and powerful, and I still have no clue about all its features. I am sure there are people out there doing what I am planning to do. So, what is your setup? How do you use orgmode to keep a record of where your money goes and comes from? I am sorry, this mail is a bit off topic. But, as I said, my org knowledge is still quite limited and it would be a colossal waste of time to enter data for weeks, just to find out that a different format is more feasible and converting everything. Thanks, have a nice day. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
