A double-entry transaction is a transaction that appears in two

transfers between two accounts. Since they always appear with

a plus sign in one account, and a minus sign in the other, the

total over all accounts will always be zero, and thus, balanced

accounts are guarenteed.

just create an income/expense account of the same name in
