Is this the everyone talks about or increasing ? 😅 Our living expenses have steadily increased over the last eight years. I can't remeber being particularly more economical in the past.

Made with my :hledger: -plot command (gitlab.com/nobodyinperson/hled). I find such graphical budgeting and planning very powerful. That's the power of : You got the data, do anything with it. 🚀

Thanks @simonmic for hledger, such a fantastic tool! 🥳

Another super interesting chart for me is this one: accounting loss over time, i.e. things that slip through the radar.

I fill my journal very thoroughly with ~1500 txns/year that I sort and tag meticulously, including all things cash (this is where things get lost).

What you can see here is: No matter how hard I try, ~1€/day slips through my radar - a lost receipt, some coins change hand on a market, etc. I find the consistency of this very fascinating 😀

@nobodyinperson Oh that’s a nice idea to plot the "unknowns" over time 👌🏻

I have a feeling that my unknowns have increased over 2024, but I’ve not checked it like this.
