Having 'dimension accounts' or 'actions' are handy for answering simple 
personal questions, such as 'how much interest (summed over all
accounts) did I earn last year?'  Or 'what ws the total of all fees and
penalties'?  

Or, more colloquially, 'how much did this road-trip cost me'?  
It is not likely that you will set up a separate account for gasoline 
charges for just one week of driving out to ski in the alps,
but it would be easy to mark the 'action' for one or two transactions
to be 'the ski trip'.
