     I have been keeping my family checking and savings, and my business=20
checking in GNUcash for 2+ years. I don't use it to full potential and, a=
s a=20
result, some of what it can do is overkill for me. But the default set of=
=20
accounts, with an occasional addition, has been adequate for all my needs=
=2E
     I track our family 401(k) and net worth in a spreadsheet, by the way=
=2E=20
This is the way I've handled those tasks for a very long time, and not=20
because of any issues with GNUcash.

satisfied with how it works.
