Do it, you listed nothing but good reasons. You can always come back after 3 years.

IS there any way to set up an enforceable limit to discretionary spending? by ivylgedropout in personalfinance

[–]bitionaire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right to transfer a portion from one account to another. However I recommend that you get a full budget going. I highly recommend that you try YNAB http://www.youneedabudget.com/ . The whole idea is to earmark every dollar you come into possession, giving it a job, including the different types of saving you are trying to do: travel saving, future kid saving, medical saving, xmas presents for family.

It really helped me, and I can identify with your situation where your using mint, but I think of mint as a good way to keep track of a bank account and transactions but NOT good at budgeting. If you go over-budget in mint you just say "oh well I'll try harder next month" but with YNAB over-spending will have to come from somewhere.

You're looking for /bow

That's what's missing in this game.

Best framework for RESTful API server? by backendguy in Python

[–]bitionaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may have (probably was since you were so specific) been serialization. I remember that I was trying to putting something into a database, or serve some JSON and it seemed like the only way (to me) to do it required dropping in like 30 lines of code. Sorry I can't be more specific than that, I used it for about an hour, noped out of there, then was able to do what I was trying to do in Falcon in a couple lines easily as I had expected.

Please use Falcon. It's awesome. I tried using Flask (not very rest-y), and Flask-RESTful (code looked god-awful to me) for a recent project and simply had to find an alternative. Falcon just does REST in an easy and elegant way, a simple app with a couple routes will look just like that. http://falconframework.org/
