Does any one know the best way to record transaction from Treasury Direct (t-bills) in Beancount (or ledger)?
You can buy a t-bill at a discount and then at maturity you get the full face value or you can reinvest it.
So if you buy $1995 of 30-day t-bills today and in a month they are worth $2000 (as an example). You get $5 sent back to your account and the $1995 rolls into a new t-bill.
How can all of this be recorded without it becoming a burden?
