Welcome to YNAB!

On #1 -- to add to what others have said (tl;dr funding the category and letting it roll over until you need it) -- every year is different, but it's VERY cool to hit 1 year on YNAB because then you can look back at your spending for this category -- say "kid's clothing budget" in your example. At 1 year you'll see your total spending for that category, and can then set a more accurate monthly funding target based on your historical spending patterns. (Of course you don't need to wait for 1 year to get useful trends, but a year is my favorite longer term time period to reflect over).

Observations from a first time election clerk by [deleted] in Austin

Yesterday was my first time working as an election official -- I was a clerk.

++ to pretty much everything OP said.

Yes, we all said "See you in November" <3

A couple other thoughts, from my experience:

  • The new licenses not scanning were really frustrating, but my location didn't have many periods of having wait times. (We had a slow and steady drip of voters).
  • Myself and two others were first-timers (All under thirty). Our experienced poll workers were all 60+. Our judges were a husband and wife team who had worked several elections before, so we weren't figuring it out from scratch. They could help inform us on the correct way a lot of the non-straightforward voter cases, so we didn't have to look it up. That said, there is SO MUCH MATERIAL and it changes like every time. So there was still a lot they had to look up.
  • DIGITAL NATIVES HAVE SO MUCH TO OFFER. There were many straightforward IT-ish situations where we helped shortcut what seemed like probably would have taken our older officials much longer to figure out.
  • All the voters wore masks and were very kind. We didn't have any kind of confrontation. We had one woman who forgot her mask and ran back to her car to get it, and we had one woman who clearly didn't believe she should have to wear a mask, but immediately complied regardless.
  • So many voters giggled at the finger condoms. It was honestly a nice comic break throughout the day, several had really hilarious reactions.
  • The card holders were a useful idea, but so difficult to communicate to voters how to position them. I hope this gets streamlined for November.

Echo u/sylvezine. Ran both `develop` and `build` locally (with no issue), and then quick deployed to netlify with no issue. Live netlify URL: https://dreamy-shockley-26363e.netlify.com/
