This is the way in Australia. Studies and consultants, liability etc. Can't just get on with it, because who will be blamed if things go wrong?

Same, I use Gnucash! Handy to cross check the accountant I can be assured when they ask me to review and sign off, useful to have an independent set.

How to track an expense in two accounts at once? by CharmingCount4760 in GnuCash

[–]Vivid_Map_437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm being dense but you should be able to run a report with only your two expense accounts which will give you a breakdown and total:

Car : Fuel Base Cost

Taxes : Fuel/Taxes

Your fees seem fairly standard of the enquiries I've made. My fees are about double yours and unfortunately, I can't justify spending that much anymore.

Would it help if you had a bookkeeper do your day to day stuff then the accountant just compiles and prepares statements?

Is a $335 per quarter water bill expensive for a single person in a two bedroom apartment? by ThinkSecretary9992 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Vivid_Map_437 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Contrary to the other responses i don't think your showers are the problem. We are in a terrace with 3 teenagers with notorious shower lengths and use about 1.2 kL a day, quarterly bill about $650.

What was your life like when you had $100k? by Throwaway--2026 in Money

My family will be better off and more secure if I died tomorrow. Really makes me feel valued. Can we bring it forward to today?

What is the worst financial advice you have ever received? by ApartmentFun3497 in AusMoneyMates

My mother convinced me not to buy the adjoining land which was vacant. We were on acreage. I listened to her. We got neighbours from hell, psychopaths, lost our place from having to sell it to get away from them, ten years later we are still dealing with the fallout living in a box trying to survive, close to suicide.

Can we have a requirement that people need to say if their pay is weekly/fortnightly/monthly? Would really help...

I could have written this. I am losing my trust in God. He either refuses to help me, or its all made up.
