06:05:34 <frebe> Hi there channel, I'm getting ready to setup gnucash. First step is to setup my account structure (especially how to organize the expense accounts). Next is to import the ~3 years of statements that I have from my bank account to get all the history in. But on the the first topic: What is the typical approach to categorize accounts? Take the example of "Insurance". I could have that as a top-level expense account/category with all insur
06:05:34 <frebe> ance payments, or I could fold my insurance for my apartment under an "Apartment" account/category, and insurance for the summerhouse under a "Summerhouse" account/category. I am interested both in understanding total insurance cost, and total cost of apartment/summerhouse respectively.This goes for other expenses too such as utilities. Maybe there are tricks in gnucash that render this question mute. Ideas/advice? Thanks!
06:06:34 <frebe> (as maybe implied by the question, I will use gnucash to organize my private economy, primarily to track expenses)
06:07:41 <chris> frebe: If it was up to me I'd tally each property in their own tree
06:08:28 <chris> Expense:PropertyA:Insurance
06:08:36 <chris> Income:PropertyA:AirBNB
06:09:10 <chris> If I want total Insurance I'd run a Transaction Report and account filter ":Insurance"
06:14:49 <frebe> Thanks for the quick feedback. That's where I was leaning too. And then for the rest of the household expenses (Groceries for example, we will have to eat no matter if we stay in the apartment or the house) I will keep separate top-level accounts. Same with the car etc.
06:15:12 <frebe> Good to know though that it's possible to filter when creating reports, that's a feature I've not explored at all so far

12:54:38 <jralls> fell, I often rm -rf * my build directory, especially after upgrades. CMake caches a lot of stuff and doesn't regenerate the cache on its own. That's especially a problem for boost and icu because they version their libraries.

13:21:57 <jralls> frebe, looks like you're renting apartments as a business. If so you should keep that as a separate book (file) from your household accounts, even if you don't have a formal business entity.
