I’m really curious how this works for you. Would you mind sharing an approximate example? There’s little in the fava-envelope showing the workflow, and how the beans flow over time.

I kind of abandoned YNAB a few months ago, but I really like the envelope-budgeting idea and would like to incorporate a similar idea in Beancount to try to manage spending. — Brian Lalor (he/him) [email protected] > On Sep 27, 2023, at 8:17 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > Whoop, I was wrong.
