02:39:40 <An_Ony_M1ose> PaulFertser: I can't figure out how to reflect my system in an account structure.
02:40:27 <PaulFertser> An_Ony_M1ose: are you familiar with double-entry bookeeping basics?
02:42:48 <PaulFertser> An_Ony_M1ose: in your account structure you create separate "Accounts" for all the different kinds of your expenses (Leisure, sports, food, apparel etc). Separate accounts for your cash and all the banks accounts. Separate accounts for all your different types of income.

03:03:50 <An_Ony_M1ose> PaulFertser: but cash/bank and allowance/other are two different divisions of the same assets
03:17:23 <PaulFertser> An_Ony_M1ose: so keep it the same
03:17:53 <PaulFertser> An_Ony_M1ose: but transfer money there from different Income accounts
03:44:09 <An_Ony_M1ose> PaulFertser: then how do I distinguish the money in the end?
03:49:48 *** aqua___ has quit IRC
03:55:37 <PaulFertser> An_Ony_M1ose: how are you able to distinguish cash that came from different sources currently, what do you mean?

07:28:58 <warlord> An_Ony_M1ose: To add to PaulFertser -- let's say you are given $10 in an allowance, and earn $10 from a small job (e.g. mowing the grass). You now have $20, but can you differentiate one $10 bill from the other? And why would you care. You account for it using multiple Income accounts. Income:Allowance -> Cash; Income:Mowing -> Cash
07:29:30 <warlord> Then I:A would have $10, I:M would have $10 (showing the different sources) and A:C would have $20 (showing what you have in your pocket)

12:17:37 <An_Ony_M1ose> warlord PaulFertser: I want to be able to distinguish the allowance I get from my parents from the money I get for life stuff from my parents. Up to now I've been doing that using the spreadsheet.
12:20:25 <An_Ony_M1ose> And it's not the actual coins/notes that I want to tell apart, it's the balance on each "account"
12:22:48 <An_Ony_M1ose> I just want to be able to say... "I have $30. Of the $30, $10 are allowance, $20 are for life stuff, and of the $30, I have $12 in cash and $18 on my bank account"
12:24:41 <An_Ony_M1ose> and then for example spend $3 of the cash, in "life stuff", on a sandwich or whateve
12:41:16 <warlord> An_Ony_M1ose: I'm not sure WHY you need to do that, but it sounds like you need to have "deposit buckets". So you would create Assets:Cash:Allowance and Assets:Cash:Life. When you get money you go from Income:<Category> to A:C:<Category>
12:41:36 <warlord> Then when you pay for things you pay for it out of whichever bucket is appropriate.. (Or a split transaction as necessary)
