I got emacs to work with the beancount.el file. It nicely color-codes 
everything. However, if I activate org mode the colors disappear. I suspect 
this is incorrect behavior and there must be something I'm doing wrong. Any 
suggestions of what might not be working?

(Apologies if this is a really basic question...I'm totally new to 
beancount and while I have used emacs, I have never used org mode). 

Also, I was using Mint for a few years, then Quicken for the last 3 years 
and I'm trying to migrate entirely to beancount and its a lot to migrate 
and for someone who is not a software engineer. I can write some python but 
it seems to be a daunting task to complete the migration and figure out all 
the CSV import scripts. I'll keep chipping away, but wondering if there are 
meetups/1:1 help or other mechanisms one might suggest to get going? 

One approach is to do everything manually for now and focus only on big 
items (e.g. don't worry about automating the import of data from credit 
card transactions). Then, later, as I get more import scripts going add all 
detailed data and historical data. That is you could enter current bank 
balance, current stock holdings, and then just go from there manually so 
there is useful data now. Then I can add this past year stock buy/sells and 
dividend information as that will help me with tax info.
