 About a year ago, I started following some blogs that talk about personal finance. I immediately became interested in the topic and, after reading a lot of stuff, I felt the need to start putting into practice what I had learned from all those articles. The first obstacle was that I didn't have any data on my expenses, no Excel sheet, no database... or maybe I did. Actually, yes, because practically my wife and I have been using this fantastic application called [**Splitwise**](https://secure.splitwise.com/) on a daily basis. It simplifies our lives a lot.
 
 Okay, I have the data, but (second obstacle) I can't read it dynamically. The only thing Splitwise offers me with a free account is the ability to download a CSV file containing all the expenses of a single group. It's not enough for me to create graphs, apply formulas, and so on.
