Yes, I'm entering transactions and reconciling accounts using ledger-mode only. The org-mode part is for reporting and dealing with the budget. > Am I also correct in thinking that all of the code blocks you shared > are run from within the same org file? Yes, but the one I only use is the table (the other code blocks are there to support it). My workflow usually is (I do this once a week): - enter the transactions by hand (I like doing it that way as it gives me a good sense of how I spend money, tab completion of accounts works great for that); - reconcile with my bank account (the ledger-mode reconcile view is most useful for this); - evaluate the formulas in the big table of my org file and look at how much I have left to spend for each envelope. At the beginning of each month, I may tweak a little the budget, then I run the last bit of code that generates a ledger transaction from Unallocated to the Expense envelopes. I copy and paste this transaction in my ledger file. (Usually I also copy and paste the scheduled transactions for the coming month, but this is irrelevant to the org setup.)
