Dear all, I don't think there was a discussion like this.
I want to figure out how to track capital investments I can't treat this like just expenses, as if I have today purchased a car for 20000 EURO my net worth is immediately lower tomorrow by 20000 EURO, which is totally different from say going for vacation for 20000 EUR This is how I plan to track capital investments: I plan to track by creating a commodity MYCAR and placing 1 item of it the Assets:Capital account 2020-01-01 commodity MYCAR name: "Ford Focus XXXXXXX" assets-class: "car" 2020-01-01 * "Buying car" Assets:Bank:Payment -20000 EUR Assets:Capital 1 MYCAR @@ -20000 EUR And then in prices table I will show the depreciation of the value of the car 2020-01-01 price MYCAR 20000 EUR 2021-01-01 price MYCAR 18000 EUR 2022-01-01 price MYCAR 16000 EUR Later I can use the unrealized gains plugin (which I still need to figure out how to use) to show depreciation of the value of the car as an unrealized cost Any feedback? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
