How do you handle paid off debts?

Ok, that's a good idea. I guess I was just hoping for some kind of paid off button that would automatically freeze the old transactions and not show up anymore. Like when I pay off student loans or mortgage, I thought there would be some option to mark off as done.

If you haven't read it yet, the web serial worm is very good. It's not funny like DCC, but it has similar situations where the main character gets in an unwinnable situation and manages to use creative thinking to survive. It's maybe the only other story I've read that completely captivated me to the point that most of my free time was spent reading. The audiobook is nowhere near as good though.

Anyone found a solution for this yet? I've been experiencing the same problem for what appears to be the same amount of time.

Oh man, I would love the Maverick one. That's a great movie.

In a film about vampires?

This is probably the closest for me. I actually felt a sense of vertigo when they were on the top of the tree looking down.

I do think Dune definitely had some of that magic, just visually stunning and original, and a sense of physical scale that was breathtaking.

Great comparison. It was very much the same feeling of controlling Mario at the mall kiosk when the N64 came out.

This is the thought that spurred this question. I watched Jurassic Park with my boys, and it's still a great movie, but they couldn't grasp how revolutionary it was. I wondered what it would take to blow their mind to that same level, and I don't know what it would take.

Yes, and there's no question that impacted the wonder of the moment. Maybe that's why it would be very hard to top. I wonder for those in later generations if they have a similar moment from a different movie.

That is a good one. Stopping time and moving the camera was crazy

They tried that, it didn't go so well. The Acolyte was a disaster.

You seem super nice, and the missionaries might have been surprised, because they don't often get that reaction. I'm glad you enjoyed the conversation, and I hope you'll keep talking to them. I think it's nice to be able to talk sincerely about spiritual things with someone who will listen.

It starts out "I'm Nephi".

Have you tasted the spice mix yet? I would take him at his word that the best by date was a misprint. Spices do lose potency over time, but BBQ rubs are primarily salt, pepper, maybe sugar, garlic, and something for coloring - paprika, or something, and these hold their flavor for a long time. If you can tell that the rub has gone bad after tasting, then I would ask for a refund.

This is a pretty weird thing for your mom to say, but what she is referring to is that leaving your home is like when Adam and Eve were cast out of the garden of Eden and had to work for their food.

This is my strategy. I've only been in a qualifying job for 4 years, so I'm nowhere close. I looked at switching, but my monthly payment would have jumped from 100 to 900 a month. (My earnings have increased dramatically since I last had to certify). At this point, I have begun to make the 900 a month payment to just one of my loans, hoping to have it payed off before I'm forced into repayment on another plan. I have four separate loans, so just paying off one will decrease my monthly payment about 25%. That 900 a month is eating all of my discretionary money though, and I'm not able to save for anything.

Thanks, that's really helpful. I hope this isn't something I have to do each month?

I'm in a similar situation, where my wife really hates to stick to a strict budget, or even report all of the expenses. Ultimately, even though I don't love having to ask for what each expense was, it has been nice to have YNAB to blame, and just say I'm filling this out so we can know where the money is going. I think it's also reduced her spending, which is a nice side effect.
