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. 2018-04-02 21:26:12 Mattijs Hoitink <[email protected]>: > Hi, > > In my ledger I have an asset account for cash set up, used for when I > withdraw from an ATM machine for example.
