Recently I made a relocation. This means I now live with two main currencies.
Before relocating, I used currency as a name for the leaf account. So if I had a bank account BankA that held both EUR and USD, I’d have two account BankA:EUR and BankA:USD. However, since most of my expenses were made from my main currency, I usually recorded that in that currency, even when traveling, since the bank usually did the conversion of which I didn’t care. So my income/expense had one level, let’s say Expenses:Groceries. Now I have more than 10 years worth of financial data in my main currency and I’m wondering how to move forward. I could let Groceries have expenses in two currencies, but in GnuCash I adopted the currency name as a leaf for most income/expenses as well, so I’d have Groceries:USD and Groceries:EUR. Is this a good model for starting with beancount, or I should just let income/expenses contain multiple currencies?
