## About
|
|
|
|
"Firefly III" is a financial manager. It can help you keep track of expenses, income, budgets and everything in between. It even supports credit cards, shared
|
|
household accounts and savings accounts! It's pretty fancy. You should use it to save and organise money.
|
|
|
|
_Firefly is a system you'll have install yourself on webhosting of your choosing._
|
|
|
|
Personal financial management is pretty difficult, and everybody has their own approach to it. Some people
|
|
make budgets, other people limit their cashflow by throwing away their credit cards, others try to increase
|
|
their current cashflow. There are tons of ways to save and earn money.
|
|
|
|
Firefly works on the principle that if you know where you're money is going, you can stop it from going there.
|
