I tried Glade, the GTK+ designer and felt it to be THE WORST piece of software ive ever experienced.. the designers must be aware of Visual studio and pretty much every other screen designer with its placement of items using drag and drop but with coordinates shown enabling placement [try Glade if you havent seen it ..its worse than bizarre !!with weird defaults and a pretty terrible system of placement based around a grid] ..the Preview is probably even worse …

Comment on Better Budgeting with GnuCash by William Whitehead

There’s an easier way if you’re not interested in tracking expenses for the year (just the month) within GnuCash, and it ties your expenses directly to your budget. Just turn all your expense and savings GnuCash accounts into liabilities. In General Ledger, you then forecast income by depositing into your income accounts, and budget your expenses and savings (liabilities) by withdrawing from them (which posts as a deposit in the actual liability account). Then, as transactions come along in your checking, simply transfer the money to your expense (liability).

The only downside to this is that you would need to do year-end and YTD analyses with a CSV export and some Excel manipulation, but it eliminates the need for quadruple accounting.

The net result is that at the beginning of the month, you have a negative income, and positive (funded) expense accounts. By the end of the month, your income should show 0 (actual – forecasted), as should all of your expense accounts.

I have been using this method for over a year now, and it works great. One question I have is about how to handle transfers of money from one budget account to another. Say I end up with more money than needed in a certain budget account and want to transfer that to another budget account which is short (from Gasoline to Groceries, for example). When I do this, I always end up messing up the reconciliation because if I reconcile it on the “Funds In” side, it removes the check mark from “Funds Out” and vice-versa. Do you have a way of dealing with this?

A terrific system. Thanks much for any insights on this small niggling detail!

Comment on Converting financial CSV data to OFX or QIF import files by Dennis

Unmaintained software. Sorry. After 7 years I wouldn’t be surprised if it no longer works at all. It’s open source though. Feel free to update it to current standards and software SDKs 😉

Doesn’t seem to work at all and there is very little in the way of instructions. Kind of a waste of time really.

Great concept–I’ve implemented this in my GNUCash set up and it’s worked out great for an entire accounting year so far! Because it zeros, it psychologically helps me stay within spending limits.

I extended this concept to two other concepts: budgeted _income_ and long term savings goals. In the first concept, there is “cash to earn” that should match up with “cash to spend”. This helps determine my total monthly budget.

The concept idea looks at savings goals similar to budgeted expenses. I keep them separate for three reasons: I physically separate the money (savings account), I don’t want to habitually tap savings goals cash to accommodate budget over-spending, and third, I can use a future transaction to determine what the goal amount is. Keeping it separate doesn’t skew my monthly budgets.

Thanks again!

Just found this and am in the process of implementing it for myself. I was looking for a way to adapt my spreadsheet system to something that would give me a better record of actual expenses, and I think this will be just the thing. Thanks so much for sharing your work!

I’m curious… why make a separate budget account? I have been using GNU cash for quite a while, and what I did was just make sub accounts in my checking account. So under my checking account, I have the food budget and the clothing budget, etc. When I make a deposit, I divide it up into the sub accounts right away, and the total shows in the checking. When I want to reconcile my checking account, I click on the checking account and include sub accounts in the reconciliation. This way I don’t have to make 4 entries for every transaction, just two.

I have been using an excel sheet to plan what I will put into those different budget sub accounts, and I think I could probably use the budget within GNU cash the same way I use the excel sheet. However, I’m not sure I like how they do it; I can’t get the numbers at the bottom to match what I think I have entered. So I may just leave it alone.

In any case, thank you for pretty much confirming me in the plan I have been using all along. 🙂

This is so helpful!!! Thank you a lot!

I have managed to compile and run it on my iPad mini. And it Works like a charm.

At the moment I am using it to implement my own physics for my game using a GPU for parallel computations.

This API should be known to more developers! On the internet I have found barely any information regarding IOS texture cache api.
