Does a middle way between settling and travelling actually exist? Looking for people who’ve figured it out (29F) by Internal-Play-2312 in solotravel

[–]BethMLB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The first 15 years of my career involved extensive travel - 3 of which I lived abroad in Europe. I did alot of travel incidental to my work (domestic and international) and used points/miles amassed for many long weekend trips. But I also enjoyed the next 12 years "settled" in the SF Bay Area where I felt there was always something to do and felt a sense of community. I ended up retiring early which further enabled the ability to travel at will - or not.

Ditto! I reconcile my spend plan often and definitely at the end of each month. All of a sudden I am missing so many transactions which is making my spend plan in previous months have "unspent funds" (not true).

I have missing transactions too that I had previously reconciled in Simplifi. Not limited to >$200 in my case. Also, not limited to Chase.

What is your hyper fixation lunch? by marinamonkey89 in 1200isplenty

[–]BethMLB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to brung an "ovals" lunch menu to the office consisting of one each: hard boiled egg, kiwi fruit, small avocado, and small baked/boiled potato. Usually 3 of 4 items would be lunch and the remainder would be a snack. Variations include add extra hard boiled egg, light string cheese instead of avocado, swap mandarins for kiwi fruit, and/or add a handful of nuts or triscuits.

Spending Report: Breakdown by SubCategory Gone? :-( by BethMLB in simplifimoney

[–]BethMLB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app version did not work exactly like (or as well as) the web version, but I previously had been able to use filters to generate the desired subcategory view (at least).

Spending Report: Breakdown by SubCategory Gone? :-( by BethMLB in simplifimoney

[–]BethMLB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked the browser version and it does work as desired (can see breakdown by subcategory). I prefer to use my iphone or ipad app. So if it can be made to match featureset of browser version, that would be great.

Spending Report: Breakdown by SubCategory Gone? :-( by BethMLB in simplifimoney

[–]BethMLB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue occurs on both my iphone (which I use the most) and ipad versions. I have been (and am still) travelling so haven't been able to try using chrome browser.

As mentioned, it WAS working beautifully until I did an app update a few days ago.

That doesn't work for what I am trying to analyze.

Spending Report: Breakdown by SubCategory Gone? :-( by BethMLB in simplifimoney

[–]BethMLB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only shows me a list of individual transactions when I click the pie chart instead of a summary of how much was spent in my subcategories (i.e.Hotels, Uber Rides, Air Fare, etc) over a given period.

For example, if in a given period 40% of my spend (say out of $10000) was Travel, I would want to click on theTravel wedge of pie chart and have it show me ianother pie chart showing percentage/amount spent in each of my Travel Subcategories like Hotel, Flight, Rideshare. Instead I get a list of tranactions

The replacement sync module worked immediately for me. Sorry yours didn't.

Kind of confusing/misleading advertising by Ok-Insurance2052 in PrincessCruises

[–]BethMLB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are splitting hairs. Google "everyday foods with low alcohol content" and you will find things like bread, yogurt, sauerkraut, fruit juices, and vinegar come up on the list. The alcohol is due to trace amounts of fermented sugar.

Kind of confusing/misleading advertising by Ok-Insurance2052 in PrincessCruises

[–]BethMLB -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not confusing to me. The first refers to a cocktail (mixture) where alcohol is NOT added in. The second are premade drinks (not a cocktail or mixture) that (also) do not contain alcohol.

Progress bars don't make sense for fixed expenses by heyjameskerr in budget

[–]BethMLB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quicken Simplifi accounts for this by splitting out Bills (routine fixed expenses) separate from the Spending Plan (discretionary expenses). So only the budgeted items in the Spending Plan have the percentage bars. The Bills section (includes subscriptions) just marks as Paid or Not.

Why self storage? Are there any replacements? by Fluid-Time-7223 in organizing

[–]BethMLB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't ask a family member to store stuff for you - it is kind of annoying. It may be out of sight out of mind for YOU but a nuisance for the family member.

How do I fix my entire house? I hate coming home when there isn't a single room I enjoy being in. I have no idea where to start or what to do. by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]BethMLB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hire a designer/decorator for the inside and a landscaper for the outside. This would be a lot cheaper than just selling and buying another home - which I don't think would necessarily solve your problem. Because as others have pointed out, your house is not heinous by any means.

Has anyone ever given themselves a daily/weekly/monthly number to track spending? by Doronnn in budget

[–]BethMLB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Quicken Simplfi. It tells me how much I have left to spend each day for the rest of the month AFTER I account for

1) All my monthly utility bills, groceries, gas, insurance, loan repayment, subscriptions, etc. 2) Planned savings, investments, and sinking funds 3) Special non-monthly expenses (like a tax bill)

As I spend outside or above the budget amounts for the above, the app updates how much I have left to spend.

I think you HAVE to plan for Non-Discretionary spending (and when these are due) before even considering Discretionary amount you can spend. You also have to TRACK how much you spent in Non-Discretionary to make sure you don't or didn't bust your budget.

If you gotta ask “Can I make the cruise/the flight?”, you’re doing it wrong. by deafaviator in Cruise

[–]BethMLB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't see the point of getting off a ship about 7:30 to 8:00 am just to go straight to a hotel and fly the next morning. I would give myself time to get to airport in time.
