You are forgetting that Income and Expense are also types of Equity. So you need to update your equation, and that will fix it for you.

I've been using GNUCash for over 10 years now. Looking at the Equity group today I realized that the Opening Balances account has a balance of over $200,000. So I am thinking that I am not using the Equity group correctly.

Isn't Equity supposed to be Assets - Liabilities?

What got me started today was trying to figure out how to post an increase in the value of my house. To do that, I added an Equity:Unrealized Gain account posting an increase to the House asset and a decrease to the Unrealized Gain Equity account. Is this how it should be done?

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe a link to something to read that will get me going in the right direction.

Thanks,
Jack Lockard
