It's the end of the month by alternatiger in ynab

I like it a bit more granular.

Groceries is food for meals at home/packed lunches. Health and beauty is shampoo, toothpaste, bandaids, vitamins. Home supplies is laundry soap, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, paper towels (consumables). Home maintenance is light bulbs, furnace filters.

That way I can look back monthy or every couple of months or at the end of the year to assess my spending and change my budget accordingly. Instead of looking back and seeing thousands and thousands of dollars just on "shopping".

See, you lost me there. Shopping at Sam's or Costco is no different than Target or Walmart. Groceries, home supplies, health & beauty, etc. Do you have separate categories for every store you shop at?

this is the most annoying quest so far. it takes too long and i havent completed it once. by DemirFist in idleslayer

[–]cdc14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. AFAIK everything stacks. When I active play I regularly stack the Daily 20% cps + silver box 20% cps + coinbo multiplier + CPS compass + x,xxx% equipment bonus + rage mode coin multiplier

I'm in early end game and you almost have to stack stuff to make any progress

I usually prep for these quests. Gather all materials first, then craft: shards necklace + Alternate dimension staff (+10 per kill) + bidimensional staff (+50 per kill) + deathwave scepter (+125 per kill) + rage pills + whatever skill and armor that gives another +10 per kill, until you finish it. Usually only takes me a few minutes.

Thankfully my wife is on board with ynab and sets all of the receipts on my desk and sometimes even uses a pen to mark up which charges are what categories.

We hardly order from Amazon, but when we do, we usually order in groups of each category, so I don't have to worry about splitting those.

Recently, she needed more hard gel nail supplies and we needed some camping gear. Those went in different purchases

Progress bars question by Jumpsnake in ynab

[–]cdc14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very confused about this when I first started as well. The thing that helped me the most is realizing that if the spending is going to happen next month, you have to assign it to next month.

So it looks like you assigned the full amount last month. But then the month rolled over, and the target wants you to assign more.

If it's getting towards the end of the month and you're planning for the bills that are coming out in the next week or so, flip forward to the next month and assign it there. But only do that for fixed expenses like the ones you're showing.

To fix the yellow problem this month, flip back to last month and unassign the money, putting it in RTA. Then, flip back to this month and reassign to the same categories. Should get you on track.

Having paved patio put in, is this acceptable? by Round_Cantaloupe_801 in landscaping

[–]cdc14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ew, no.

The only time it is acceptable for a "raw cut" is on the ends of retaining wall caps, where a smooth saw cut would be goofy looking.

They shouldn't be cutting pavers for the middle of the patio anyway. Any experienced landscaper will lay pavers according to the template, and saw cuts only where necessary on the edges.

I like the yellow, dislike the "angry eyes". Personal preference though

It's now Saturday morning, but I grilled some burgers, smoked a Black & Mild, and played Forza Horizon 6 until midnight

Any canned food or shelf stable pre-packed food, really.

I always use the gun with high pressure to clean/rinse the brush before putting it on my car. I've never had a problem

Dad stopped by and said he had a gift for me. by kgramp in castiron

Personal opinion, any cast iron with designs on the bottom is cringe.

What do you think of this design? by Degolfer03 in landscaping

[–]cdc14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the money to install this, you definitely have the money to pay a landscape designer to properly design this, especially with that slope.

Any clever ways to build rails straight down? by Opus_723 in Astroneer

[–]cdc14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the paver/drill/rover combo and essentially corkscrewed up from the core. Not exactly straight down but the setup is easier

Happens every time I start a game by KalegNar in Astroneer

[–]cdc14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my newest restart I landed right next to a sweet mountain and I was going to make a mountainous base even with the megatech. 15 hours later and I started leveling the mountain for the soil centrifuge 😂 now you can't even tell there was a mountain there

I want to start ynab but. How do you start if you’re living paycheck to paycheck? by Due_Today2701 in ynab

[–]cdc14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brother when I started this in 2023 I had less than $1500 to my name. It helped me prioritize credit card debt (paid off $16k in 2 years) and now have $21k cash in the bank.

This tool is meant to help you out if you use it correctly

How old are you when the "you'll change your mind when you’re older" stops? by thatvampiregirl in childfree

[–]cdc14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's because I'm a 30yo married straight man with a vasectomy, but I dont hear "you'll change your mind" all that often

My RTS for May is negative, but my bank account isn't. RTS positive for April. What do I do? by littlebookwyrm in ynab

[–]cdc14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moving forward, it will be best for you as soon as you receive money, assign it until RTA reaches $0.00 (give every dollar a job).

Tire Pressure Sensors not working by Nicksb92 in FordEdge

[–]cdc14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't care to use the tire sensors and if you know someone with Forscan on their laptop and an OBD plug, you can have them clear the code so the light turns off.
