I created a PR with a possible resolution.

Hi Tyler,

Sorry about this issue.

The documentation is wrong there and the code is right :) I have updated the doc.
I have also improved slightly the code to create the directory to give you a nice error and create directories recursively, it make help in your case. Can you try the version from master again?

There is one easy workaround for this case. You can create the directory manually. Either mkdir ~/.budget or mkdir ~/.local/share/budget. Any of these two directories, if they exist, will be picked by the tool.

Let me know how that goes for you.

I discarded my local changes to config.cpp, pulled and rebuilt from the new master source, and it started up just fine. Since I already had ~/.budget at this point this wasn't a test of the new error and recursive directory creation code, but I can confirm it's picking my existing local directory just fine.

Thank you!

Awesome!
