Here is a typical transaction:\ -\ -@smallexample\ -2004/09/29 My Employer\ - Assets:Checking $500.00\ - Income:Salary\ -@end smallexample\ -\ -Money, here, comes from an Income account belonging to ``My\ -Employer'', and is transferred to your checking account. The money is\ -now yours, which makes it an Asset.\ -\ -Liabilities track money owed to others. This can happen when you\ -borrow money to buy something, or if you owe someone money. Here is\ -an example of increasing a MasterCard liability by spending money with\ -it:\ -\ -@smallexample\ -2004/09/30 Restaurant\ - Expenses:Dining $25.00\ - Liabilities:MasterCard\ -@end smallexample\ -\ -The Dining account balance now shows $25 spent on Dining, and a\ -corresponding $25 owed on the MasterCard---and therefore shown as\ -$-25.00. The MasterCard liability shows up as negative because it\ -offsets the value of your assets.\ -\ -The combined total of your Assets and Liabilities is your net worth.\ -So to see your current net worth, use this command:\ -\ -@example\ -ledger balance ^assets ^liabilities\ -@end example\ -\ -Relatedly, your Income accounts show up negative, because they\ -transfer money @emph\{from\} an account in order to increase your\ -assets. Your Expenses show up positive because that is where the\ -money went to. The combined total of Income and Expenses is your cash\ -flow. A positive cash flow means you are spending more than you make,\ -since income is always a negative figure. To see your current cash\ -flow, use this command:\ -\ -@example\ -ledger balance ^income ^expenses\ -@end example\ -\ -Another common question to ask of your expenses is: How much do I\ -spend each month on X? Ledger provides a simple way of displaying\ -monthly totals for any account. Here is an example that summarizes\ -your monthly automobile expenses:\ -\ -@example\ -ledger -M register expenses:auto\ -@end example\ -\ -This assumes, of course, that you use account names like\ -@samp\{Expenses:Auto:Gas\} and @samp\{Expenses:Auto:Repair\}.}
