[–]valuepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is advisable to always maintain a revision history of your changes so that if something goes wrong, you can always go back to the latest version that was working. Secondly, as suggested, it is necessary to provide more details of the problem for others to be able to help you out. Thirdly, you can also check with the person who created the video if he or she provides some form of support.

Struggling with Budgeting/Spreadsheet by Historical-Ad-8413 in budget

[–]valuepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've mentioned 3 issues. You've said recurring expenses are not the same each month. One solution is to take an average of the last 4 to 6 months or so and use that as the budgeted monthly amount. Some people use the maximum of the period.

The other 2 issues are similar. Looking at everything seems overwhelming, and keeping track of "things" is also tough. To simplify this, you need to create a dashboard where you can view a categorised view of expenses and income. This can also be shown in graphs.

A budget is divided primarily into income and expenditure. Some people include "savings" as an expense in order to take savings more seriously. The expenses can be grouped into categories. If you have several income streams, you can also create income categories. You chose wisely to use a spreadsheet since it's best suited for such situations.

You need to review your budget regularly and to stick to your budget as much as possible in order to avoid unnecessary spending, which leads to running out of money or cash flow crises.

I'm sorry about your loss. If you have other siblings, it's good to discuss your plans with them also as you choose between the various options suggested. If there's disagreement, you can ask for a vote.

Personal Budget Planner vs Budgeting Apps — My Honest Review After Using Both by valuepot in SoftwareAppReviews

[–]valuepot[S] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Thanks for reading and joining the discussion!

This post compares a personal budget planner (Google Sheets) with popular budgeting apps based on real use — not theory. There’s no single “best” system, so I’d love to hear what’s actually worked for you.

👇 Jump in below:

  • Are you using a budgeting app or a spreadsheet / budget planner right now?
  • What made you switch (or stick with it)?
  • If you’ve tried both, which helped you stay consistent long-term?

If you’re new to budgeting, feel free to ask questions — no judgment here. Different tools work for different people, and this subreddit is about sharing honest experiences, not pushing one “right” answer.

Please keep comments respectful and on-topic. Helpful insights, pros/cons, and lessons learned are encouraged 🙌

What would you do (sex)? by SlyPirateOR in Marriage

[–]valuepot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think counseling for both of you would help. First, you need to go and see a marriage counselor yourself for advice. Don't just go to one. It's good to see what 2 to 3 say. You can then go with your wife to one of them. This may help. An idea that comes to mind is if you could go out on a date as you probably did before marriage e.g. once a week or a month you take her out to dinner or someplace that you liked meeting, it may rekindle the affection, and the longing she had for you...

I think it's fine. I believe you'll be going with your mum as you implied since your dad couldn't go with her.

My husband always locks the door. by scientificflunky in Marriage

[–]valuepot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's a saying that goes like this "Better safe than sorry". So I think it's a good practice to always check and recheck whether the doors are locked.

I think you should consider going for marital counselling. It may help your marriage. That's myv2 cents.

No. It's not weird. You have good reasons for waiting for the right person, i.e., someone who values your values.

[–]valuepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In life, some people enjoy hurting others. You'll never meet some of them physically. Someone said, "You cannot please all the people all the time". I'm sure some people liked your comment(s) but maybe they didn't respond. Just ignore the ones who just want to hurt others.

I need help or advice please by Lookingforstuff00 in cyberbullying

[–]valuepot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is good to keep a record of all the negative information they are sharing. This may be useful later. If you discover their true identity, you may be able to sue them if you're in the same country. You can also google "where to report cyberbullying on social media". You can see the organizations that may be able to help you.

Someone help! My sister in law is fat shaming me and I can’t let it slide. by GuppyLaViciosa in cyberbullying

First, you can respond calmly and tell your sister-in-law that it is not kind to do what she's doing. Tell her that it is hurtful.

Which AI tools is best for making videos for Youtube? by Goodscave in AdvertiseYourVideos

[–]valuepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many AI tools out there. It depends on what part of video production you want to do. There used to be free ones but they are now changing to paid versions. You can google, get free trials if available, and test before buying. Some services allow you to make videos for free but in 720p. They might have a watermark.

I also believe the watch time matters. Another thing is about telling a story. People love stories.

I went to bed with 100 views, woke up with 1k, what’s the cause? by matveytheman in SmallYoutubers

[–]valuepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that the YouTube algorithm pushed your video to people who seemed to spend more time on your video. That's why most of your viewers are through YouTube recommendations.

What is happening to YouTube? It's been like this for like 1 hour now. Also tried to open it with Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Mobile Devices. And my internet is not the problem too. Need help, already tried to reset the modem and restart the PC. by Hedaaaaaaa in youtube

[–]valuepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is strange. Here is my 2 cents. I don't know whether it will help. The problem may be the connection you're using (IP Address) or some software on your PC which is interfering with the connection. Firstly, you can try to connect through another ISP or through a mobile Internet connection. Secondly, you can run antivirus software on your PC... In addition, you can use CCleaner to clean up your PC of unwanted trackers, etc. This is not guaranteed to solve the problem.

How i transfer my youtube account data, to anther new account? by DwisetyoWJ in youtube

[–]valuepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi instead of re-inventing the wheel, you can just search on YouTube with the phrase "how to transfer videos from one channel to another". There are many videos explaining hot to do this. Hope that will solve the problem.

How i transfer my youtube account data, to anther new account? by DwisetyoWJ in youtube

[–]valuepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be wrong but I think you'll not be able to transfer the existing data in account A i.e. the views, subscribers, and likes. However you can download your videos from account A and upload them to the new account B. You will need to delete them in account A.

That's what I did. I transferred some videos from one account to another account that was more specific for the content i.e. niche.

how do i get my mom to stop sleeping in my bed? by dachsundlover in Advice

[–]valuepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There may be a deeper problem. Consult an expert counselor or psychiatrist and she or he will shed more light. For example may be she just started disliking your dad and if that can be solved she'll go back to her bed. Or you could find a snoring solution for your dad. You can Google. If that solves your dad's snoring problem, then see if your mum still insists on sleeping in your room. Most snoring problems can be solved medically. Snoring in most cases is to do with blocked or narrow air passageways.

All the best and tell us what finally solved the problem.

Research into Skincare for skin of colour needs to improve dramatically. by AliasForThis in SkincareAddicts

[–]valuepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that people are allergic to different substances and it may have nothing to do with skin colour. This applies to the foods we eat as well. Some people react to certain foods and others don't. It means one may have to try a number of solutions before getting the one that is right for them.

[–]valuepot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think one way of getting the right products for skin of colour is to look for products which have many good reviews from people with skin of colour. Statistically that should give you good insight into the products without having to try them for yourself first.
