I have done some research and some self-hosted software solutions that interest me include [Firefly III], [Transity], [Ledger]. Maybe I'll write my own personal finance record keeping software.

Since this will be the first time keeping track of my own finances, I'd like to hear what has worked for others members of the Hacker News community.

I know for a fact that Amazon engineers are compensated less well compared to Facebook and Google - does having Amazon as an SDE1 on my resume imply I didn't have any better options? I turned down two startups and a bulge-bracket bank (Goldman | JP Morgan | Morgan Stanley) to accept Amazon.
