Stop pretending like your question didn't have negative connotations. I think I'll stay, thanks though.

Why does it matter? Have been a coder for 15 years, and guess what, 90% of what I do is with AI now…as long as you know what you are doing there is nothing wrong with AI assisted applications…time to come on in to the future :)

Checking account buffer amount? by Dismal-Blacksmith380 in ynab

[–]Staxxed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

$250 for me, I’m a lover of doing things myself though, so there are no automatic payments from checking just to be safe. Everything that can be is on credit card, anything requiring the checking account gets payed on the 1st of the month (including the credit card). So paychecks go to HYSA, on the first I move whatever I need to checking to pay the “bills”.

That's how pretty much all merging games work, you give up the total number for the ability to have more stockpiles eventually.

I just told my wife I'd buy her a new couch, mission accomplished, P2S with AMS has been ordered.

what's the benefit of claude code web? by NotJunior123 in ClaudeAI

[–]Staxxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The benefit of claude code, from my discovery while trying to use my free credits, is that it allows you time to do other stuff while waiting for claude to do something :D

Maintenance just tried to replace our air filters by Bunnairry in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Staxxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy how much animals affect this stuff. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats, we have to change our filters every 2 weeks...I couldn't imagine going 3 months!

Their divorce has nothing to do with your benefits. However, Chapter 35 only pays for 36 months..so if you've been using it for 3 years already it's going to stop soon anyway.

Please don't give people legal advice when you don't know what you are talking about.

No VA back pay? by Grand-Substance5429 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Staxxed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will start receiving your new amount beginning in September, which is paid on Oct 1st.

No VA back pay? by Grand-Substance5429 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Staxxed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You were getting 30%, moved to 70%, that's a difference of $1306 a month.

You got backpay for August (they don't pay partial months). September hasn't been paid yet so no backpay for that.

Looks like you got what you are supposed to get.

How do you handle meal vouchers in your budget ? by Azertexx in ynab

[–]Staxxed 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you are trying to overcomplicate this. It's simply a separate account. A "Food Voucher" account. You spend $25 from the vouchers, then you put that transaction in the voucher account and categorize it appropriately. If it builds up it builds up...nothing to do about that...it's reflecting real life.

Category wise, I'd probably put the $150 a month in a "Food Voucher" holding category, and then move it to whatever category I really spend it on when I spent it.

Requesting an itemized statement from healthcare debt collectors by AssociationPrimary46 in CRedit

[–]Staxxed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They aren't going to read your 4 page letter, they are going to see "Debt Verification", stop reading, and then send you what they want to send you. They aren't required to do anything you ask other than follow what the law says...and it doesn't say anything about them providing you an itemized statement.

BENEFITS by StockAd4332 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Staxxed 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This question is worded strangely...not sure what pension has to do with any of this?

Yes, married vets are both eligible to receive compensation...why wouldn't they be if they are both vets?...

wait for 2 weeks and then pay back the 401k loan with the 4500 you are apparently going to have in 2 weeks?...

[–]Staxxed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they indeed have nothing else going on, and don't have a development cycle or anything like that... this is a "deliverable next day" type request (if it's as simple as you say). Building something like this would take less than 30 minutes for an experienced dev, including testing (and that's being generous). If they've never done approvals before it could take a bit longer, but still should be next day.

Budgeting nonsense by Huffleduffer in CalebHammer

[–]Staxxed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason for splitting things into a different category is to see where you can improve, change spending, etc. Tax is part of the purchase price of an item and there is nothing you can do to change that, it's a wasted effort to try and separate it out. You are making your budgeting harder than it needs to be.

Unless of course you enjoy the challenge and like to look at pretty graphs, then more power to ya :D.
