I'm a complete idiot for not properly checking out hledger before last week.

I actually really really like it. I tried ynab, I tried money manager ex, I tried gnucash, I tried pen and paper but hledger has like. that pen and paper simplicity with plain text files, and the convenience of a digital system, and doesn't lock you into a specific method like ynab very nice
