I posted a Project accounting example by using ledger some time back: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/ledger-cli/jostein$20project/ledger-cli/EoYTM8g9Kmg/IT5aGDbflRkJ Another way I use it for in my work is to keep a separate account for my commuting costs to work, including expenses for lunch and related costs. This is useful to get an overview to plan for different periods and align with travel discounts and more.
