[GNC] Reports for Personal Finance

[Tom Balazs]

I finished importing and reconciling months of bank data. Now I want to put
that to good use.

For the case of an individual or a family, what are the most useful reports?

Common advice is that your emergency savings account should hold enough to
cover 6 months of expenses. In order to to do that, I need to know my
average monthly expenses. I guess I can use the Cash Flow report, look at
"Money Out" and divide that by how many months have gone by in the year. Is
there a better way to get average monthly expenses?

I like the Cash Flow report. But I wish I could sort it by amount, high to
low. That would be good to see as a stacked bar chart or a regular bar
chart.

I would like to see a multiple-account balance as a line chart or a bar
chart. In a way that shows me balances over time.

I guess I'm mostly interested in the Income and Expense reports, but also
in Assets and Liabilities.

What reports do you find useful?
