Envelope budgeting view #2

Open drwebb opened 4 years ago

drwebb commented 4 years ago

I use ledger (hledger) as an envelope budgeting tool through a combination of virtual transactions (the budget) and automatic transactions (triggered on expenses) as detailed in the following blogs. https://emacs.cafe/ledger/emacs/ynab/budgeting/2018/06/12/elbank-ynab.html https://frdmtoplay.com/envelope-budgeting-with-ledger/ https://www.petekeen.net/program-your-finances-envelope-budgeting.

It would be great to see a tab in ledgerble where one could view the state of the "envelopes" or the budget. Just a set of bar or pie charts perhaps indicating how empty they are.
