# 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
|
|
### Types of transactions
|
|
* Transfer
|
|
* Deposit
|
|
* Withdrawal
|
|
|
|
### Sinking-Funds
|
|
Potentially 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.
|
|
|
|
### Bills
|
|
Recurring expenses, basically
|
|
|
|
### Tags
|
|
Can be attached to any kind of transaction, transactions can have multiple tags
|
|
|
|
### Categories
|
|
Another way to group transactions, a transaction can only be in one category
|
|
|
|
### Budgets
|
|
To plan out how much to spend on different things
|
|
|
|
### Grouped Transactions
|
|
Group together multiple transactions, for example for groceries.
|
|
Can mix and match withdrawals and deposits (for things like Pfand in germany)
