This is Hacker Public Radio episode 3,738 for Wednesday the 30th of November 2022.
Today's show is entitled, Brief Intro on KD.
It is the first show by new host Kinese and is about three minutes long.
It carries a clean flag.
The summary is, Brief Intro on KD.
I thought it would dip my toes into recording for Hacker Public Radio by recording a short
episode on an app I have found useful, K-My Money.
It technically comes with KDE but I have used it on other Linux desktop environments
plus on the Windows.
I found an episode already discussing it so I thought it would be useful to add to the
catalog.
So, first what is this application from the website, they say K-My Money is a cross-platform
personal finance manager built on KDE framework's technologies for your desktop and
notebook environment.
It enables users to keep careful track of their personal finances by providing a
broad array of financial features and tools.
The principle goals of the application are, ease of use.
K-My Money strives to be the easiest open source personal finance manager to use, especially
for the non-technical user.
The familiarity K-My Money already provides the most important features found in commercial
available personal finance managers and we are constantly planning testing and releasing
new features to fit every task you'll ever encounter.
Using time tests to double entry accounting principles, K-My Money can help ensure that
your finances are recorded as they should.
So, how do I use this?
I use this in two ways.
One, I use this to balance my checkbook.
This is access to the bank and many bills electronic.
I found it easier to reconcile differences through an application rather than by paper.
And two, it helps me keep track of the regular bills.
So related to the bills, I wanted to briefly talk about the scheduled transactions, which
I find most helpful.
So, from the website, again, the scheduled view, you can create a managed scheduled transactions
in the scheduled view.
Schedules are a very useful on-time saving feature, creating a scheduled transaction for
a regularly recurring event like your rent or your bills will help you not forget to pay
them on time.
Schedules could even be configured to automatically enter a transaction into a ledger for
you if you want.
Schedule, creating, or adding transactions.
Schedule transactions can be bills, deposits, or transfers, and a scheduled transaction
is created, or edited, the transaction information is displayed in a dialogue when you
where you can enter or edit the transaction details.
So some examples of how I use the scheduled transaction.
One, reminders on the bills that occur roughly.
These bills are the most typical, for instance, the monthly electric bill that occurs
around a typical day of the month.
Two, there is at least one bill that occurs quarterly and another that occurs annually.
Four, I have a bi-weekly paycheck that I have as a reminder to enter.
So, in summary, both the balancing of the checkbook and using the scheduled transactions
has helped reduce, mean being late on a bill, especially when I miss that last submit on
when there are several stuff to actually pay a bill.
I hope, at least some of you have found this episode useful.
Thanks.
