You may want to read this introduction to find out why income, equity
and liabilities are negative in beancount:

> I lean toward thinking everything should be positive values

beancount doesn't use debits and credits; it uses plus and minus
instead.

Assets are positive

> liabilities/income/expenses??

Liabilities and income are Negative, expenses are positive.

This way, things balance.
