I'm looking for some sage advice on GnuCash before I try jumping in the
deep end. First a quick background. I'm new to GunCash coming from
Microsoft Money 2004. 2 things I really used in it that I can seem to
find or aren't in GnuCash are "spending thermometers", and a budget
planning report.
I've figured out a way around the "spending thermometers using the
Monthly / Weekly budget reports, but I haven't figured out how to make a
budget plan except by putting the values in a spreadsheet and seeing if
they balance.
So what I'm looking for is a report if it exist in GnuCash that would
allow me to see in one page what I've budgeted (including weekly,
monthly...) and how that matches up with my planned income. Doing this
on a yearly basis would be a start, but I'd like to see it on a monthly
level.
A Quick example would be:
Budget Item
Expenses Incomes PerMonth
Budget for Monthly Groceries: $100
- $100
Budget for Monthly Gas $120
- $120
Budget for bi-monthly Auto Maintenance: $85
- $43.33
Budget for Yearly Renter's Ins: $200
- $16.67
Weekly Planned income
$150 + $600
Balance ---> >
+$300.00
If this report already exists, then please let me know and I will be
much appreciative. If it doesn't exist. Is this the type of report
that an amateur could tackle? (I have no experience with scheme, but a
little with Java)
Thanks
John
