What Does It Do?

dough helps you get a handle on your personal finances.

Config File

Create a json config file that represents your finances:

{
	"accounts": [
		{
			"name": "Account1",
			"balances": {
				"savings": 100.0,
				"checking": 253.0
			}
		},
		{
			"name": "Account2",
			"balances": {
				"savings": 3856.50
			}
		}
	],
	"modifiers": [
		{
			"name": "Paycheck Every Two Weeks",
			"amount": 1000.0,
			"recurrence" : {
				"type": "daily",
				"start": "03/21/2014",
				"step": 14
			}
		},
		{
			"name": "Car Payment On The Tenth",
			"amount": -150.00,
			"recurrence" : {
				"type": "monthly",
				"day": 10
			}
		}
	]
}

Running dough

Pass the path to the config file to dough as an argument:

./dough.py my-finances.json

dough uses argparse so run dough with -h to see a list of options that are configurable from the command line:

./dough.py -h
