Hi there, I'd like to get your opinion on the following example of trying 
to manage a cash-only piggy bank among colleagues. Let's assume that 
everyone agreed to pay 5 Euro into the piggy bank.

Based on this information I book the accounts receivable, here it's called 
"Vermögen:Forderungen"

Once the money is paid, "Vermögen:Forderungen" is decreased in favor of 
"Vermoegen:Barkasse", the cash-only piggy bank. Once in a while money is 
taken out e.g. to pay for flowers, so "Vermoegen:Barkasse" is decreased, 
expenses for flowers "Ausgaben:Blumengeld" is increased.

Is this feasible or am I missing something? my bookkeeping lecture was 
quite a while ago...
