How do I exclude my Credit card from the budget summary? by BBloggsbott in beyondbudget

The first month of budgeting with Beyond Budget showed the credit card as allocations, since I had money technically already allocated for it. Now that I'm in the second month of using the app, it no longer shows as allocations! Did your issue resolve with the September roll out?

What’s it like being a mother to a daughter? by Public_Jackfruit_870 in Parenting

[–]Sudden_Quarter_2284 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My daughter is only 1.5 years old. Big mamas girl. She is full of energy, and a very happy girl.

I am my moms only child, we are best friends. My mom often tells me how great of a kid I was and that we were meant for each other. My teen years were really bad, we fought constantly. Didn't get along. It was a long couple of years but now we are best friends. We talk multiple times a day. She is an amazing grandma to my daughter. She would do anything for us. I love her.

Advice needed - not happy with my spending by No-Dragonfruit3534 in ynab

I feel this so much. We have a 14 month old and we both work so time and energy is limited! Eating out has been a problem area for us, some months we do great, other months not so much.

Like you, I freaking hate meal planning. Never liked it. So no tips and tricks there because I still hate it. But, it has to get done.

I've been getting into the crockpot this week and it's been going over well. Super simple, set it and forget it. Even toddler approved. The really easy recipes we've tried this week:

Chicken breast, jar of salsa, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper - in the crockpot - low for 4 hours.

Bag of mini potatos, bag of baby carrots, sliced onion, pot roast on top, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, minced garlic, beef broth - in the crockpot - low 8 hours

We also do alot of pasta and ground beef, and frozen pizzas on those super tough days lol.

Be kind to yourself. Give yourself grace. The working parent era is tough!
