Personal finance is a huge topic. Something that is not taught in schools but immensely important to our society.
I used to manage my personal finances in a Google Sheet or Excel. Well, thanks to open sourcing Actual, those days are gone and I have all my budgets now online, available from anywhere running on a private server.
Actual is the best open source alternative to Excel, Google Sheets and the thousands of finance apps. Learn how to host Actual yourself in this video!
