Is this the #inflation everyone talks about or increasing #hedonism? 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 (https://gitlab.com/nobodyinperson/hledger-utils#hledger-plot---plotting-charts-of-hledger-queries). I find such graphical budgeting and planning very powerful. That's the power of #plainTextAccounting: 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 #hledger 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.
