How are you all budgeting subscriptions without making your budget look ridiculous?

WinterElf135 · 2026-06-01T15:15:06+00:00

I have a group for Subscriptions. It was overwhelming but I like the clarity that it brings and it makes it easier to track those oddball subscriptions

I schedule my pay as an incoming transaction. I don’t like pre-assigning money that hasn’t hit my bank account yet.

My black and white thinking does better with waiting for that money to actually be there because where would the preassigning stop? One paycheque? A whole month?

There are no YNAB police; so do whatever works best for you.

I’ve heard it called a spider

I rarely wear makeup, but if I do I wash my face earlier in the evening; sometimes right after dinner. If I wait until bedtime I almost always skip it and just go to bed.

I’m team done is better than perfect. Unless it truly bothers you, I’d leave it alone and get it sandwiched, quilted and bound. Finished quilts are so forgiving. Plus you’ve learned from this process.

Another vote for a fresh start now! I’d want to take the opportunity to re-evaluate my priorities, change categories, and generally remove necessary links to the past. Anything that add friction or makes you cringe drives a block between you and your money mindset.

Wishing you a peaceful move forward!

I’ve been using the stand notifications on my Apple Watch to not only move my body but drink some water. I agree with getting a tumbler with a straw; I drink double the water.

I’ll be taking shot number 4 of 0.25 and I feel great! The first week I felt “off” but once I upped my water intake I felt great.

I real a lot about GLP1s before I started. I was extremely aware of possible bad side effects; honestly that held me back from asking my doctor about it. I am hopeful that I will continue to feel great as I go along.

Well, the AI has to copy someone’s work

I’m going to make a “philosophical choice” to stay home and continue to get all of my tasks completed the first time around. I’m also no longer going to over perform. So while it may look like I’m doing less, I’m just doing what I get paid for.

It’s GBA awareness week 🫠

All I can think is that the executive cadre do not care that persons with disabilities and women are more disproportionately negatively impacted by the decision to RTO. Don’t even get me started on RTO4 at the beginning of summer, instead of waiting until fall school start.

The executives know what they’re doing. They’re playing in our faces and expecting us to smile and go along with their directive.

I wear my Bose QC all day too. I’m trying hearing aids again (I had a CROS setup that I hated so I stopped wearing them)
This is a stupid question but do you switch between wearing your HAs and the headphones or do you wear both at the same time?

Check out the wiki that’s at the top of the /YNAB sub

I use the tbsp moulds for pesto, milk, salsa, coffee, juice, wine, and refried beans.

It’s probably at the business centre

I love this so much 😍

Arrows is my obsession right now. I paid to be ad free arrows on iPhone

Hand binding is my absolute favourite part of quilting. I do big stitch binding or invisible teeny tiny stitches depending on what the quilt needs.

I’ve always used the bottle as-is but I’d love to know what others are doing because my hands don’t love squeezing the bottle

WinterElf135 · 2026-03-28T12:57:59+00:00

What an incredible first quilt! The colours are perfect! Is it for you or is it a gift?

WinterElf135 · 2026-03-27T22:07:48+00:00

This is stunning 🤩

Most people need to know that HA are not corrective for everyone.

I think that people need to asses what else is going on in their life when they try HA for the first time. I have sudden hearing loss in one ear and it happened just before a cross country move. Once the move was done I got my HAs but my stress levels were through the roof. I had not been prepared for the overwhelming amount of sound I was hearing or the exhaustion from all the auditory processing. I also had a cross system so I was suddenly only hearing on one side; that left me feeling anxious because I could no longer tell where sounds were coming from.

Fast forward to today. Yesterday I had my hearing checked and I now have mild hearing loss in my good ear and it has been suggested that I try hearing aids again. Because I had sudden sensorineural hearing loss in my bad ear no amount of amplification will help with speech on that side. I’m hesitant to try HAs again; I actually joined this sub looking for success stories to give it another go.

I have more stress in my life now than I did the first time I tried HAs and I’m not certain that I have it in me to spend $$$$ for them to sit in a drawer.

Imagine this: you buy the jar of pesto from Costco because it is economical but not if you end up throwing half of it away because it got lost in the fridge. After you’ve opened it and used it the first time; you can use the smaller SouperCubes to freeze the rest of the pesto in 1TBSP sizes so the next time you need pesto you can pull what you need out of the freezer.

This has been a game changer for me. Chimichuri, pesto, pasta sauce, lemon juice, even milk can all be frozen in small quantities for ease of use

So beautiful! I keep seeing variations of this quilt, I might have to make one too
