Hi all,
So I started YNAB a few years ago, and found myself enjoying the accounting aspects more than the budgeting aspects. When the price kicked up, I thought I'd explore the personal accounting space some more.
So I started using GNUCash and learned about double entry accounting. Which was fun sometimes, less fun other times. I liked that I could use Git with the save file, didn't like entering every. single. transaction. manually. I could never figure out the bank sync.
Eventually, I switched to Quicken, and have been mostly OK with it so far (on Mac). Though I'm still not used to using Reports and the like for personal analytics, the mobile app is clunky, and I occasionally run into wonky bugs with sync or with the general app.
How do you all go about tracking funds in accounts, if at all?
Thanks!
I just have a spreadsheet that I update monthly with my balances for my accounts. It used to be more fancy. I would extract and paste in all my transactions for every account and balances would automatically update. I used this to track spending automatically. But that became cumbersome, especially if something about an account changed or I added a new account so I went back to just manually updated balances.
