I'm trying to get started with ledger, but I'm having a bit of an issue
getting over the start line. I created a file called `testing.journal`
which contains:
2023/06/20 * Opening Balance
Assets:Checking $400.00
Assets:Savings $1300.00
Assets:Cash $60.00
Liabilities:MasterCard $400.00
2023/06/16 Transfer to Bob
Expenses:Bob $20.00
Assets:Checking
2023/06/08 HarborTown Marina
Expenses:Boat $300.00
Assets:Checking
2023/06/08 7-11
Expenses:ATM $100
Assets:Checking
2023/06/08 Gas Company
Expenses:Utilities:Gas $30.00
Assets:Checking
2023/06/06 Transfer From Bob
Expenses:Bob -$200.00
Assets:Checking
2023/06/06 Insurance
Expenses:Automobile $200.00
Assets:Checking
Now when I run ledger -f testing.journal bal, I get:
$-850.00 Assets
$60.00 Cash
$-450.00 Checking
$-1760.00 Checking $400.00
$1300.00 Savings
$450.00 Expenses
$100.00 ATM
$200.00 Automobile
$300.00 Boat
$-180.00 Bob
$30.00 Utilities:Gas
$400.00 Liabilities:MasterCard
--------------------
0
Which just doesn't seem right. Like the negative amounts seem backwards and
I don't understand why there is a *Checking* *and* a *Checking $400.00*
line?
I used a starting balance from today, but then post-dated transactions.
Maybe that's bad form. I'm sorry if this is too basic, but I swear I've
been reading through the documentation. Also, I'm very not used to html
email, so if this formatting is screwed up, I apologize.
