Hello, I appreciate the enthusiasm for Ledger, but I really just don't like the double posting idea period.
I just need totals spreadsheet style, that's about it. I think the whole idea behind bean count is tedious. I just don't think like a mathematician in this respect, too brainy for me. I'll take a look at the Org Mode way to solve this problem via the previous posts, thanks.
