Earning Money

WOOT! You guys are earning money now! Let's keep track of it.

Remember hledger? That's the tool we're going to use. Use hledger add to add a new transaction. You should use the following accounts:

• The amount will be $50.00
• The account getting the money (use a positive number) should be assets:cash
• The account losing the money should be revenues:income:mowing, and it should automatically balance the value you put into cash.
