[GNC] Handling personal yet-to-pay bills

[Mattia Rizzolo]

Hi people!

I'm a new gnucash user, starting pretty much now.

I'll start by saying that despite being a self-employed contractor (and
such I am making use of some of the business features of gnucash), my
fiscal position in my country (Italy) doesn't impose me any kind of
obligation concerning account reports.  As such the focus of my set up
is really personal, and for now I'm not trying to do things like
figuring my tax filings from this.  Furthermore I'm allowed to mix "my"
money and "my business" money, so effectively my assets are mixed.

I have been looking for a more featureful tool than a crude spreadsheet
to track all of my assets (and changes to them), that span multiple
banks and brokerages (and I also believe I do relatively complex/unusual
things that I'd love to be able to track, but I'll come back at a later
moment to those).  In fact I've been quite happy to discover that the
grand total was actually more than what I thought I had at hand :D So
thank you to the devs for this program that for now made me very
satisfied! :)


With that out of the way, today I would like to start with asking the
wider community how you'd suggest to track "personal bills" that come
and needs to be paid.  I'm referring to things like utility bills
(phone, electricity, etc) or tax payments that needs to be done;
especially those payments that are done manually and don't direct debit
to the checking account or credit card.
I'd like to have those kind of things filed in even if the actual
payment has not been instructed yet, in which case it should count
toward a liability (since after all it would an A/P).  That would likely
also help me remind me of the deadlines.
I'm aware of the "bills" feature (that I already started to use with a
business vendor, and looks like it's behaving exactly as I'd expect),
but I'd like to double check with you if as a user in my situation I'm
expected to use the same "business feature" also for personal things?


Thanks in advance for your support and sorry for being long-winded!
