Yes, but not with a simple tag like :girlfriend:. You'd have to do this:

Then use --account='tag("Girlfriend")', and your budget will be against

This is very strange. It works for me under the latest build exactly as
presented in the manual.

Use:

As far as I know that will not work.

Hi all,
A feature of my checking account is that any time I use my debit card,
the amount is rounded up to the next dollar amount and the change is
deposited into my savings.
So far, in ledger I record this transaction as such.
20XX/XX/XX (DC) Payee
Expenses:Stuff $2.50

Hello John,
Many thanks for this email. Does cl-ledger (lisp version) has similar
architecture? What are the differences? I don't know how many of the
ledger's users are programmers but making Ledger's architecture more
transparent will, for sure, help people understand and contribute to
ledger.
I don't mind :p, this works perfectly, however it is not what I was looking
for.
Can I use the budgeting feature as described in "@chapter Budgeting and
Forecasting", line 5320 of ledger3.texi with tags?
Is it possible do define <---

This is awesome, thanks for writing it up. I tried it out and found

:) I shouldn't have been so flip. I am not certain exactly what you want
to do. If you just want to know how much you have spent on the girlfriend
you can do balance and register reports limited to the girlfriend tag:
ledger bal --limit "has_tag('Girlfriend')"
and similar for register.
On Wed,
Wow! That really helped!
I would use the "= expr ( commodity == 'SYMBOL' )" to propagate the
commodity tags to all related postings.
It would be nice tough if this could be achieved using the simple "tag"
directive.
Thanks.

While I agree with the above, I'd still like to see how this might be
done for a different purpose, say tracking vacation spending.
Actually, let me rephrase that:
Is there any way to do tag-based budget?
Provided that I cannot use a single account root for any given group of
expense and if tag-based budgeting is not a possibility, are automatic
transactions the right way to go?

Thanks very much for posting this overview, it's very interesting
to read how it is all laid out.

In fact we do have plans, but we are also well aware of how we spend our
money. She is a Gnucash user and she has a budget for me as well but this
is not the point. :-)
My question still stands.

If you have any idea of her becoming more than a girlfriend in the future,

Guys,
What would be the best way to implement a budget so I could track how much
I'm overspending with my girlfriend?
So far I register all transactions as happen... Going to the movies ->
Expenses:Entertainment:Movies, fueling the car to go to her house ->
Expenses:Transportation:Fuel and so
Yes, that's how I currently implement this in GNUCash. Unfortunately, I
have more than one brokerage accounts so that I could take advantage of the
least expensive transactions of each.
The other thing is that the account structure is fixed. You can't "view" it
from different perspectives such
I'm sure that I'm "doing it wrong" but I just fake it by adding
sub-categories for different funds (or stocks), so, for example:
2011-12-30 * Fidelity - 403b Dividend
Assets:403b:Fidelity:VBMPX 2.493 VBMPX @@
$27.42
Income:403b:Fidelity:VBMPX

Good day to all!
I'm new to ledger and I quite haven't figured out how to properly tag
commodities so I could group values based on that metadata.
For instance:
commodity STOCKA
; market: NYSE
; type: Large corporations
; sector: Energy
commodity STOCKB
; market: NASDAQ
; type: Large corporati
Hi John,
With recent improvments on ledger, do you think that this thread can be
solved?

Hi,
Is it possible to tell Ledger an entry with transactions in two commodities /
currencies balances, so that it can calculate the exchange rate?
Motivating situation: I am in the US, and I withdrew, say, USD 200.00 from my
Canadian chequing account. The ATM here charged me USD 2.50 as an add
