This is a basic question that I want to sort out for the documentation. I am writing a section on suggested account structure. In my (admittedly naive) personal journal I use Assets, Expenses, Liabilities, and Income at the top level. My 401K/IRA/Brokerage Accounts are all tracked under the "Assets" branch. The documentation for "hledger" suggests five top level accounts, the four I have plus "Equity". Is there a fundamental difference between "Equity" and "Assets"? My basic understanding puts both terms in the set of "stuff I control".
PS to keep things straight on the list I will prepend the subject line on all documentation specific threads with "[DOCS]". They may not be of interest to the entire list, bu I hope you will all chime in. -- Craig, Corona De Tucson, AZ enderw88.wordpress.com
