• Monitoring your spending

  I use Buckets (budgetwithbuckets.com /r/budgetwithbuckets). It's a budgeting application. There are a few different ones around. I used to use YNAB but they decided to double prices and that pissed me off so I left it. You can also just use excel. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Moving forward, what are your plans?

  I've been trying Buckets (budgetwithbuckets.com) myself and it's very similar, and so far, have been working really well. Their nYNAB import (in the beta release) works extremely well also... Source: over 2 years ago

• YNAB to Buckets guide

  For sure! If you're comfortable using GitHub, you can use the Issue Tracker (link at the top of the budgetwithbuckets.com site). Or from within the app, click Help > Report Bug. Source: over 2 years ago

• Moving on from 2013 and FYI, deleting your [nYNAB] account will get you a partial refund

  I chose https://budgetwithbuckets.com/ Currently lacks a mobile app and recurring transactions, but I've found good workarounds for both, and the $15/yr 3rd party sync seems to work with all my accounts. Source: over 2 years ago

• Double-Entry Bookkeeping as a Directed Graph

  I'm surprised that there is no mentions of a great hacker-friendly plain-text accounting software called `ledger` https://ledger-cli.org/ in this thread. It has amazing documentation when it comes to understanding basic principles of double-entry bookkeeping and goes through many typical situations and usecases.

• GnuCash Tutorial and Concepts Guide

  If it helps anyone, I wrote a blog post[0] (based on this comment[1]) explaining how double-entry accounting works. I have recently been thinking about building my own program that implements double-entry accounting in a more approachable form for individuals. I’m not sure if pure accounting concepts are ideal for the average person for keeping track of their budget like how they are essential for businesses. My... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Accounting for Computer Scientists – Martin Kleppmann's Blog

  I learnt all of this by using ledger[0] and, of course, reading its manual. I've been maintaining my own accounts for more than a decade now. It's fun being able to plot my overall wealth and expenses over time. [0] https://ledger-cli.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Accounting for Computer Scientists – Martin Kleppmann's Blog

  Shameless plug: some time ago I wrote a booklet [0] about principles of accounting with examples in Ledger [1], aimed at personal/home finance (as opposed to corporate finance). [0] https://leanpub.com/personal-accounting-in-ledger [1] https://ledger-cli.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
