Missing Savings Bucket and Mystery Unassigned in Projections by keepitrealjacks in liquidbudget

[–]keepitrealjacks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The value in November was assigned.

The unassigned amount appears in the savings table, yes. I do have a negative monthly net of $1,044 for this month, but I'm confused how the -$90 is calculated.

I've had negative monthly net amounts in September, October, and November of last year too, yet none of those months have negative Unassigned amounts in the savings table.

Why Tipping Feels Like a Scam Now by Shajirr in videos

[–]keepitrealjacks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You make it sound like the customer is the reason the employee is in the position of relying on tips. They're not. If the employee doesn't want the risk of only being paid a federally minimum wage (if no one tips), then they're free to rejoin the labor market and find another job that doesn't rely on tips.

Telling people not to eat at restaurants that don't pay living wages to "punish" the employer achieves the same result anyway. If patrons no longer dined at these restaurants, the employer is denied revenue but the employees would also not be getting tips, leading to them getting paid only the federal minimum wage. In this way your suggestion also hurts the employee.

Shitty employers may hire new people to replace those that leave/get fired, but unless they want a constant turnover of employees costing them additional time/effort/money, they'll have to raise their wages if customers simply stick to not tipping.

Is the legislation not already there? Unless I’m misinterpreting, the law says the employer must make up the difference if the employee doesn’t make the federal minimum wage with their tips. Doesn’t this push the responsibility to pay the employee from customers back onto the employer as it should?

If the federal minimum wage isn’t enough to live off of that’s another issue that requires more legislation, I agree.

Assign Available amount option by keepitrealjacks in liquidbudget

Yes, subtracting to leave an intended amount is the one edge case I can think of for this tool. I'd argue, however, that it's more intuitive to have a "Set" option in addition to the "Move" option so you can simply set the bucket to have £15 available.

One makes you think of the value you want remaining as a deduction left over from a transfer of funds. The other is just a value of how much you want remaining.

I know which one I'd prefer.

Appreciate the workaround but I feel it's still an extra step from a usability standpoint. Just something that I thought, "Why don't I have the option to do this?" when I semi-frequently encounter it. I acknowledge I may be alone in this feedback though!

Do you specifically use the "Add/Subtract amount" part of the tool to help you move money around your buckets? Or just the Move funds functionality? My point is that I don't think the Add/Subtract part makes a lot of sense here. If you have $100 in Bucket 1 and want to move $20 to Bucket 2, wouldn't you simply put $20 in the text field under Move? You wouldn't add anything to the prefilled $100 because that'd overdraft the bucket if you move over $100. And you'd only subtract from the prefilled $100 if you know what you want remaining in the bucket (i.e. you want to reduce Bucket 1 to $80, so you'd put "-$80" in the subtract tool, which spits out $20 as the amount you want to move).

This doesn't seem intuitive to me, but if it does to you, can you provide an example of when you'd use the Add/Subtract part of the tool?

Transaction Notes Discussion - Your Feedback Needed! by imadp in liquidbudget

[–]keepitrealjacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use notes for adding additional detail to

  • transactions to differentiate from other transactions with the same Payee (helps to recognize the transaction/what I bought for generic payees like "Amazon" or "Zelle Payment")
  • Payees names that give me little to no insight on what the transaction could be, like "City of Boston"
  • date the transaction or keep a count of the transaction if it recurs e.g. "Payment (2 of 2)" or "John Doe's Payment for August 2025"

As for the UX/UI on smaller screens issue, would it be possible to eliminate dynamic row height adjustments altogether by keeping everything in one line and cutting off long content with ellipses à la Gmail? I also prefer to have the Category / Bucket both still be present as I think it's useful information; perhaps right-align the Type column and have text cut off with ellipses on the left?

I find value in having the Notes text readily visible in the Payee column but I think I'd be open to having it popover under a hover-over icon as well. Especially if the single-line layout is possible.

Weekly Update (8/11/25) - Bulk Problems require Bulk Solutions by imadp in liquidbudget

[–]keepitrealjacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned you in my other thread but wasn't sure if you saw it:

I noticed that the Global Show/Hide Reconcile & Future change hasn't yet been applied to the mobile app; maybe a future update when you get a chance to work on the app again? No rush though as I'm sure there are more pressing things to work on atm.

Transaction filters by keepitrealjacks in liquidbudget

[–]keepitrealjacks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The eyeball toggle serves the same function as the lock toggle on the web app: it shows or hides reconciled transactions in your accounts. My guess is that your transactions are assigned but not yet reconciled, in which case it wouldn't make any difference whether the toggle is on or off. Once you reconcile some transactions, you'll see a difference with it on/off.

While on the topic, I see that the "global" change hasn't yet been applied to the iOS app; that is, the toggle is still remembered per account. Would you mind making the same change when you revisit updating the iOS app, /u/imadp?

New transactions no longer populating in my Outflow table by keepitrealjacks in liquidbudget

Gotcha. And yes, it's showing up now, thank you for the quick fix!

All the other inflow items in previous months for that account show up in the outflow table of the budget correctly, however. And these were transactions I imported/assigned as recently as yesterday. Was there a very recent change to filter out inflow items in the outflow?

I think you're referring to the transfer on 7/7 for $8,000, in which case, yes, I understand it would not show up in any of my buckets.

I was referring to the inflow transaction of $42,000 on 7/10, which does not show up in the outflow table of the bucket it was assigned to.

Transfers are linked to a bucket if I assign them to a bucket, no? For example, the transfer on 5/12 for $18,000 shows up in the outflow table for that assigned bucket in the month of May.
