Do you have a good guide to start that you could recommend? It sounds quite simple when you mention it, but every time I tried to get started with Ledger with or without emacs, it always seemed too much of an undertaking and stalled pretty early... if you have a good workflow to recommend, that would be very helpful.
- ramses0 3y agoJust start with `hledger-ui` and like the article said: mess it up a bunch and keep fixing it or starting over. Pick one particular "zone" of finances (eg: monthly bills) and track only that part of it for a while. You'll figure it out!
- mbork_pl 3y agoMay I recommend my ebook I linked to in another comment here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39494344 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39494344)? You don't need a lot of commands to use Ledger successfully. 99% of the time, I only use one (`ledger bal`). The main thing is how to put stuff in your ledger file (and in fact, I devote most of the book to that). And, of course, the discipline to do it regularly (which I outsource to Beeminder).
