* Install
** Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =finance= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file. This layer adds support for [[http://ledger-cli.org/download.html][ledger]], which must be installed separately.

* Configuration

** Ledger

You can set what column transaction posts are aligned to on
the right by setting the variable =ledger-post-amount-alignment-column= in
your =dotspacemacs/user-config=.  The default value, set in the layer, is =62=.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (defun dotspacemacs/user-config ()
    (setq ledger-post-amount-alignment-column 68))
#+END_SRC
