What works for you and how does it work? How long have you been using it?

    For all this AI BS we’re going through, why is there not one to actually automate budgeting. Of all the fucking apps they’re shoving down people’s throats, the one thing I’ve been waiting for still hasn’t come. Wtf.

    I really need it, anything that doesn’t automatically pull in transactions reliably, between multiple accounts and reconciles transactions between them (matching a 10.39 transaction on one of my privacy cards to the corresponding bank pull transaction) is just gonna fall apart for me in a matter of months. (At best)

    Envelopes, spreadsheets, YNAB, Quicken all have been tried, all got forgotten about -_-

      If it’s making you so angry, it might be better to just do it yourself.

      It’ll also help you spend less because you won’t want to log all those little transactions

        NGL, I’ve seriously thought about it, but my AI skill set is very much still “in development” and I have tons of other projects to get done on my projects list

          I meant just making a spreadsheet and doing it manually. But if you have technical skills, you really just need to make a script that sticks data from your bank’s CSV files into a spreadsheet.
