13:01:12 <wdkrnls> I'm confused about where the other side of the balance is in GnuCash. If I make $10, then $10 dollars is deducted from my employers account and placed into my account. But in GNUCash, it deducts the $10 from my equity, which doesn't mesh well with (income - expenses).
13:04:50 <warlord> wdkrnls: you're doing it wrong. When you get $10 in salary and put it into your pocket, that's a transaction from Income:Salary -> Assets:Cash
13:05:21 <warlord> "Income" and "Expense" accounts are the "magic" source and sink of money into and out of the system. They are 'equity'
13:06:42 <warlord> This transaction will increase Income and increase Assets.
13:07:21 <wdkrnls> Alright, I see. Thanks.
13:07:34 <warlord> you're welcome
