I started doing double entry bookkeeping with GnuCash to keep track of my personal finances, down to the penny. I think I am familiar with most of the basics of double entry bookkeeping, I took a course in it many years ago and read the GnuCash manuals. I have as assets my bank account and "cash in wallet", and many expense accounts for food, gas, water, electricity, clothes, transport/commuting and so on.
How can I use GnuCash to answer questions like:
- How much money have I spent from year/month/day to year/month/day? I.e. I want to know how much money I have spent in total today, or last week, and so on.
- How much money have I spent from year/month/day to year/month/day from the account called "cash in wallet"? I.e. I want to know how much money I have spent in total today, or last week, and so on, only from a given account.
