Financial Tracker

Although I am currently using firefly-iii for keeping track of my finances, I still feel like it is lacking a bit.

Issues with firefly-iii

• Grouped transactions have to all be the same type
  • Annoying for breaking up my shopping when this includes pfand
• Does not support sinking funds
• Does not support tracking my investments (not even roughly)
• I want to mark certain transfers as if they are actual withdrawals to not show up in my budget anymore as available

Use Cases

sinking funds

Tied to bills and can be used to easily keep track of non monthly expenses. They should be tied to some account and then if you transfer money to said account, you can mark it as contributing to the sinking fund.

savings

I want transfers into savings to be removed from my available cash for the month, but not count as expenses. They should also be counted in my budgets, so I can make a "fun" savings transaction.
