I've used the original ledger [0] for a few years to track my day-to-day cash flow and appreciate the simplicity. I create a new file every year and manage it with standard Unix tools, plus a few shell and Python wrappers to make entries and reports a little easier. The hardest part is just getting started and getting into the habit of maintaining the ledger. Once you start tracking it's difficult to stop! Seeing all of your accounts line up is a reward in itself. [0] https://www.ledger-cli.org https://www.ledger-cli.org
