If you're feeling down on your luck and would like to change your balances
gratuitously, you'll still be constrained by the double-entry paradigm
embraced by gnucash. Try making a transaction earlier than any of your
other transactions (say, 2002?) debiting your chequing account for, say,
$100,000, and crediting your opening balance equity for the same amount.
This exercise is always a nice "pick-me-up" for myself, and maybe it will
help you realize your freedoms as well?
