10 years of personal finances in plain text files

I've been tracking my finances using Beancount in plain text files for 10 years. Here are the numbers, the workflow, and why I believe plaintext accounting will outlive any app.

Bạn đang sở hữu 5.000€ và phân vân làm gì với số tiền này? Một số gợi ý: mua dụng cụ thiết yếu cho thuê, đầu tư garage nhỏ, hoặc hỗ trợ startup. Ý tưởng khác?

Câu chuyện kinh doanh đầy bất ngờ! Một người bạn của tôi phát hiện đối tác và nhân viên tài chính đang chiếm đoạt tiền từ công ty trong 5 tháng. Họ tạo giả mạo hoàn tiền, chi phí giả và chia nhau hơn 40.000 USD mỗi người. Bị bắt qua lối sống xa xỉ và số liệu không khớp. Bài học: Kiểm soát tài khoản thanh toán, so sánh dữ liệu thường xuyên, xác minh kỹ người làm việc. #Fraud #Business #Startup #Vietnam #CảnhBáo #TưVấnTàiChính #FinancialAdvice #BàiHọcKinhDoanh #Saas

This is a good question when seeking financial advice. Ofc some successful folks will advise you for the low, low price of a book. Here are two of the best.

Read “The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing” by Mel Lindauer first as an intro. Then read and follow “The Simple Path to Wealth” by JL Collins.
