; An "envelope budget" assisted by auto postings.
|
|
; From the "Planning/allocating budget" example at https://gist.github.com/ony/bbec599c0893e676b772559909b81de6.
|
|
|
|
; Envelope balances, representing the currently available funds in each budget category,
|
|
; are tracked as pseudo-accounts under "budget".
|
|
; Here we allocate some funds to the envelopes. These are imaginary, so unbalanced postings are fine:

2008/4/1 Budget for 2008q2
|
|
(budget:food) $1000
|
|
(budget:clothes) $200
|
|
(budget:misc) $1000
|
|
|
|
; When you spend, a corresponding amount should be removed from the appropriate budget envelope.
|
|
; You can record this manually, eg:
|
|
;
|
|
; 2008-04-15
|
|
; expenses:food $10
|
|
; assets:checking -$10
|
|
; (budget:food) -$10
|
|
|
|
; Or you can do it automatically with auto postings, activated with --auto.
|
|
; This is often recommended, as a labour saver.
|
|
; Auto posting rules:
|
|
|
|
; for each posting to a clothes expense account,
|
|
; add an auto posting removing the same amount from the clothes budget envelope.
|
|
= expenses.*clothes
|
|
(budget:clothes) *-1
|
|
|
|
; for each posting to a food or supplies expense account,
|
|
; remove the same amount from the food budget envelope.
|
|
= expenses.*(food|supplies)
|
|
(budget:food) *-1
|
|
|
|
; for each posting to any other expense account,
|
|
; remove the same amount from the misc budget envelope.
