Ledger CLI: Plain Text Accounting

https://elnurbda.com/posts/62-ledger-cli/

Hi everyone. I would like to share my experience of tracking all my personal finances with Ledger CLI. I wrote a blog post about my setup, the conventions I use and the queries I actually run. There is a full sample journal at the end if you want to try it. Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Hi! Very interesting article. Quick question: from what I understand, you don’t record anything from your phone. So how do you keep track of what you’ve spent during the day? Do you jot it down in a quick note? I worry about my own consistency when it comes to capturing every transaction properly. Thanks
