I'm looking at Beancount to get a better grasp of my expenses. A vital part of that are regular expenses, things like income, monthly rent, yearly insurance fees, or semesterly university fees. I'm surprised to find no documentation on how to manage such regular expenses with Beancount. I've searched the documentation, this group, and the web, but the closest thing I've found is the forecast plugin which marks itself as experimental and seems minimal. Instead, I'm under the impression that I'm supposed not to project these costs into the future, but to just keep track of the actual transactions that have occurred in the past. However, this feels insufficient to me, since it seems important to know how much money I will have left next month to spend on running costs.
Therefore I would love some feedback on how you handle recurring expenses with Beancount and whether it's the right tool for what I'm looking for? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
