I'm working on a C program for tracking my account balances, budgeting/saving, spending analysis, etc. The program won't use/store sensitive info like SSN, account numbers, etc. - just made-up account names, transaction amounts, transaction categories/descriptions. Additionally, there will be no web transfer - it's all offline, manual entry.

My question is: Do I need to worry about encryption?

Sorry if this sounds ridiculous - I just don't want to inadvertently screw myself with a hobby project.
