Hi,

I would recommend this:

1. Make a transfer from Assets:Bank to Assets:Cash every time you
withdraw from ATM;
2. Count your money in you wallet from time to time (say, monthly) and
use "balance" directive to assert how many money in your wallet;
3. Insert a "pad" directive one day before the "balance" directive to
automatically generate a transfer from your wallet to your designated
account (e.g. Expenses:RandomStuff) to make the next balance assertion
pass.

I use the similar procedure for a bank investment account which accrues
interest every day. But I don't want to duplicate every interest income
in that account because there are no script-friendly way to export data
from that bank. So I just assert the balance monthly and pad the
difference to "Income:Interest" or something like that.
