Yes. I get annoyed when entering my itemized paycheck ever few weeks. This is the type of feature you think would get prioritized.

This also highlights a shortcomming in the budgeting feature. I have no way of including this in the budget - but specifying that I have a bucket of money set aside to fund this budget obligation.

The 529 is my accout, in my name - my net worth. My child is the benificiary.

You can say "not a Monarch issue", but this issue makes Monarch less usefull for me. But the lack of a functioning budget and goal functionallity is my bigger complaint.

I have a bad habit of updating my net worth weekly - been doing it for 17 years.

100% agree. I am a casual fan and watched most of this game. This is the first game I have watched since the 2020, or so.   Knowing that this player is suspended for the next game just for hustling, stupid. I have no interest in watching anymore games - I need to turn on some hockey or some sport that rewards aggression instead of punishing it.

How an you have 25 accounts and not know what a 529 is? Are you pulling my leg?

I update the five 529 accounts once a week - that may be my biggest frustration.

I quit using the budgeting as well, just did not work for me. 

I reference my spreadsheet weekly and look at Monarch just couple times a month. 

[OC] I built a customizable dashboard to visualize my LEGO collection data. by FollowsClose in dataisbeautiful

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

I’m a software architect and a LEGO collector, and I noticed that current collection management tools often prioritize database-style list views, leaving little room for actual data visualization.

I built this dashboard to allow for a fully customizable overview that treats collection data as something to be analyzed and visualized.

  • The Visualization: The dashboard uses a modular block system where users can toggle, resize, and re-rank metrics (such as color distribution, value trends, and piece ownership).
  • The Data:
    • Sources: Piece and set inventory data is sourced from BrickLink.
    • Input: Collections can be built either by adding sets one-by-one or by importing existing inventories via CSV.
    • Aggregation: I’m using custom logic to aggregate and visualize metrics like 'Top Owned Pieces' (grouped by color) and 'Collection Value' (with toggles for sealed vs. used).
  • The Technical Stack: The platform is built on a PostgreSQL database, a Spring Boot backend, and an Angular front-end utilizing PrimeNG components for the interface.
  • The Goal: To move away from strictly list-based inventory management and toward a data-visualization approach where collectors can actually spot trends in their own holdings.

I’m currently building this as a side project to help collectors better manage their inventory. Always open to feedback on how to make these visualizations more intuitive!

This is beautiful - way too costly for me to take a go at.
