My First GNUCash Problem
I’ve been using I’ve been using to track my finances since about September of 2009 and I’m just now finding my first problem with it. I didn’t copy the data from my bank quickly enough when I first started, so I deleted it all and restarted in January. Since then, however, I’ve been updating it weekly since then.
Things I love about GnuCash:
1.) It reminds me of the accounting class I had in High School, which I rather enjoyed. Mrs. Huddleston taught us about our debits, credits, liabilities, and Equity and it made a whole lot of sense to me.
2.) Double-Entry accounting.
5.) Freedom! (think “Braveheart”)
6.) It’s freely available.
7.) GnuCash is cross platform. It runs on my mac, my linux pc’s, and my windows pc.

The First Problem I’ve Had with GnuCash:
1.) It doesn’t have a “Loan Amortization Calculator” report thingy. I’d like to be able to click a button and have it project how much longer I’m going to have to pay my mortgage. I’m paying extra principal payments and I want to know how that will affect the length of my loan.
My Fix:
I don’t exactly have one yet. I could use a spreadsheet, but that’s not nearly as cool.
Possibilities:
1.) Write my own report in scheme (will probably will happen).
2.) After I write my own report, create a GnuCash Report Repository web site (will probably not happen).
That is all. I still love GnuCash.
