Hi

I'm looking for a way to see how my budget would look like if the
current date was sometime in the future, for example at the end of the
year. Imagine I have a budget like this:

~ Monthly
Expenses:Food $20
Assets

If I run `ledger budget` I can only see my food budget for the year so
far, but I would like to see what I can spend on food for the whole
year. Is there any way to do that?

Cheers,
Michael

You can use --now to specify any future "today's date" that you like.

ledger bal --now=2012/12/21
