I follow the list through the gmane interface so I'm not subscribed. The footer on the post also states to use 'Reply All' so the conversation doesn't accidentally end up off-list.

Hey! Matthew Lundin m...@imapmail.org writes: I think orgmode is the way to go. If your needs are simple (i.e., just tracking discretionary spending) you might consider using properties and column views to keep track of where your money is going. I find that this creates a nice way to sum up weekly, monthly, and yearly expenditures. I described my admittedly simple setup in this post: Well, for now, my needs are simple. This may change, but keeping a double-entry accounting system seems overkill for my very limited budget as a student. Your setup is great, I played with it a while, and I think I will test and adopt/extend it to my needs. For more sophisticated financial tracking, I'd probably recommend a tool devoted to that purpose. Well, ledger is still installed. Some day, I will have a closer look at this.
