When you have made some changes you need to save your work. Save the file using File -> Save (Ctrl-S) or the corresponding toolbar button. The first time your work is saved Eqonomize! will ask for a location and name for the file. Eqonomize! will then automatically open that file each time the program is started.

If when exiting Eqonomize! there are some changes that have been made after the last save, you will be asked if the file should be saved before closing. If you in the dialog toggle Do not ask again and click Yes the file will automatically be saved each time Eqonomize! is closed.

Before the file is saved, a backup copy is made with the name prefixed by “~”. Also, at most once per minute, the current data is saved (in the default KDE autosave folder, usually ~/autosave), to prevent data loss in case Eqonomize! exits unexpectedly (if for example you by accident hit the reset button on the computer).
