There are accounts in there for my checking and savings accounts, credit card accounts, mortgage, car loan, etc.
I also have accounts I created for things that don’t exist outside of my GnuCash file. Accounts for money set aside for college payments for my kids, accounts for saving for vacations or whatever. The money in those accounts is “really” in the savings account, but since I don’t look there when I’m checking what money I have to spend, it is left alone. So, for example, the bank might say I have $1000 in savings, but GnuCash says it’s $200 with $800 in a vacation account.
I keep track of money with GnuCash.
