In this general area, I have been developing a combination of org mode and Scheme code whose aim is to help me define budgets, and then track whether my actual spending is in accordance with those budgets.

I'm not using ledger here. I hope I'm not missing something, but I looked at ledger and it didn't seem to help with the main thing I thought I needed, which was to read in transaction dump files from my bank and present those in a summarised form according to my budget categories. I use org tables to define what the categories are, and how particular transaction entries are mapped into those categories (or else show up as "Unknown").

It's a work in progress... In case anyone else is interested in this particular itch, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Best wishes,
