Opinionated guide on how to start (and continue) tracking personal finances using the open-source Beancount accounting system.
It comes together with some code. Lazy Beancount is Beancount packaged in Docker with batteries included:
- Fava and dashboards
- Beancount-import and some specific importers
- Streamlit-based interface to minimize entry barrier and simplify some specific workflows.
The primary goal of this guide is to provide you a way to start managing your own finances using plain-text accounting gradually and incrementally. Also with various useful tools already included and set up.
The key new feature is to allow to only enter totals for your accounts periodically via UI, and corresponding Beancount data will be generated for you. That takes very little time and you can import of fill in other data when you have time or whenever you want to do more detailed research on your finances.
