While this +will not slow down the ledger program much---it's designed to process +ledger files very quickly---things can start to feel ``messy''; and +it's a universal complaint that when finances feel messy, people avoid +them. + +Thus, archiving the data from previous years into their own files can +offer a sense of completion, and freedom from the past. But how to +best accomplish this with the ledger program? There are two commands +that make it very simple: @command{print}, and @command{equity}. + +Let's take an example file, with data ranging from year 2000 until +2004. We want to archive years 2000 and 2001 to their own file, +leaving just 2003 and 2004 in the current file. So, use +@command{print} to output all the earlier transactions to a file called +@file{ledger-old.dat}: + +@smallexample +ledger -f ledger.dat -b 2000 -e 2001 print > ledger-old.dat +@end smallexample + +To delete older data from the current ledger file, use @command{print} +again, this time specifying year 2002 as the starting date: + +@example +ledger -f ledger.dat -b 2002 print > x +mv x ledger.dat +@end example + +However, now the current file contains @emph{only} postings from +2002 onward, which will not yield accurate present-day balances, +because the net income from previous years is no longer being tallied. +To compensate for this, we must append an equity report for the old +ledger at the beginning of the new one: + +@example +ledger -f ledger-old.dat equity > equity.dat +cat equity.dat ledger.dat > x +mv x ledger.dat +rm equity.dat +@end example + +Now the balances reported from @file{ledger.dat} are identical to what +they were before the data was split. + +How often should you split your ledger? You never need to, if you +don't want to. Even eighty years of data will not slow down ledger +much---and that's just using present day hardware! Or, you can keep +the previous and current year in one file, and each year before that +in its own file. It's really up to you, and how you want to organize +your finances. For those who also keep an accurate paper trail, it +might be useful to archive the older years to their own files, then +burn those files to a CD to keep with the paper records---along with +any electronic statements received during the year. In the arena of +organization, just keep in mind this maxim: Do whatever keeps you +doing it.</string> + </dict> + <dict> + <key>$classes</key> + <array> + <string>NSMutableString</string> +
