My mom wanted to know if she needed to make any emergency funding
arrangements for me, so I sent her a 24-page report of all the
financial transactions I recorded since I moved to Canada.

It’s arranged by category and then by month, and it includes each and
every single line item. I might be missing one or two hotdogs here ard
there, but in general, it’s a good picture of how I’ve been spending
money.

Gnucash makes it _fun_ to record my expenses, and creating reports is
a breeze. Totally awesome stuff.
