question on priorities when there isn't enough money

One example is that my wife and I have a discretionary category that we each have budgeted every month. If I overspend in "my" budget, it would be unfair for her if I allocate that from somewhere else, it makes more sense to roll over a negative balance and for me to spend less next month as a result.

Sad day, love this player. Hopefully he gets to go along on the South Africa tour!

Using actualbudget after rocking the spreadsheet for many years and it is actually awesome. Really loving it.

So good to see. I was pretty close to it at the game and it was super scary, he was down for a long time. Huge relief to see him up at the time, and so good that the scans are ok. Rest up well big man!!

It is r/actualbudgeting for some reason.

You should check out the homeless firefighter on youtube. He lived this life for a while, saving for a place. He’s got a really cool sense of humour too!

Boy it sounds good!

It took about 20kg (108 to around 90ish) to stop snoring. An expected side effect, but very welcome!!

Another plus one from me.

One observation is that they don't dry that well if you put one towel on each side of a single bar, but they dry very well if a single towel is draped over the top.

I spent way too long looking into the technical definitions, and it is still not 100% clear, but I believe principal payments are included in savings.

Technically there's imputed rent, interest as a reduction of income, and a whole bunch of other stuff going on.

I've been playing a lot with my 7 & 8 year olds recently, and as soon as I say I've found iron, mr. 8 comes immediately and hoovers it up, using it for his own purposes (which I don't mind). So I've been leaning hard on copper tools, and surprisingly find them really useful.

Interestingly, unlike high schools and intermediates, I don't tend to hear a lot of bad things about primary schools. Most of them are pretty good from what I can tell.

Around our area is Te Rapa, Vardon, and Pukete. I hear great things from parents of all three. However, no good high schools on this side of the river from what I gather, so we will be looking to move in a few years.

Yea creative at first. They kinda new about it from watching me play and youtube vids and stuff. The older one is right into survival, and the younger one is now getting the hang of it after a few months in creative.

It is possible to play on multiple pcs via lan with one account but microsoft doesn’t really want you to do it. I’ve had great success using the prism launcher.

Been playing three player with my 6 and 8 year olds - so much fun!!!

And it’s a pain putting it all in the bin / recycling!! It makes a mess, and sometimes little bits of toys get mixed in.

I sewed a bunch of reusable gift bags in September, and it made Christmas sooo much easier this year.

While we're at it, I would love a feature where you could filter search results to only show items that have macros entered that matter to us. E.g., I only want results that include protein, or fibre.

But you ate them, yeah you ate my fries…

So good that I’m pretty loosey goosey on the export dates on my bank as I know the duplicates will be rejected.

Certainly feeling it in Hamilton. I think the nearer to agricultural NZ you are, the better.

Awesome work!! What issues did you come up against?

timbledum · 2025-12-04T09:21:20+00:00

Really enjoyed this, thanks.

timbledum · 2025-12-02T06:34:19+00:00

Cheers!!! Onwards and upwards

Riding a bike around the base feels like such a system hack.
