I've been using it for a few years now. It's great.

Couple tips:

Add a colored bar with the date being the first of each month, and the name being AAA. It makes it easier to read to have month separators in

Add a column that says what account you paid it out of if you use multiple accounts

Don't forget to update it with new bills you acquire

Get the Google sheets app on your phone, and log every purchase. Candy bar at the gas station? Log it. Secret fast food purchase you don't want anyone knowing about because you're ashamed? Log it as a gasoline purchase. Bought some weed from that dude Tommy who was at your buddy's house? "Walgreens" lol. Just make sure you get in the habit of logging minor spending

Also, there's a cool graphic that you can set to be emailed to you once a month that you link to the budget, giving you a break down of your spending in certain categories. I'll find it and update the original comment with it.

You shame me, Ms. Bot. You shame me.

(Finally something I can almost answer!)

So, I don't have an app, but I use this, and it's amazing. Takes around 30-45 minutes to set up.

Yes, Pipedbot, that is a YouTube link. Proceed with your public shaming.

a graphical chart you can link to the original spreadsheet and have emailed to yourself monthly

My best friend was an usher at Dollywood, and freaking loves flashlights. Collects them and has a shit ton.

I like crafting. Anything with fabric or yarn or thread.

Well, there'll be a lot less billionaires pretty quickly, from there it's gonna be a lot of references to star trek, doctor who, dead philosophers and general southernisms.

Is the joke that they got there too late..?

Thanks for the tip!

I am unreasonably excited about this. Where I live, there's no decent options for Internet or cell signal. Which means normal calling/texting doesn't work, and regular Wi-Fi calling/texting is choppy at the best of times. My whole family uses WhatsApp for everything. I'm hoping I can get them to switch to something like this once it's stable.

Did Dan ever get the messaging service Sup going? Tried to look it up, but his name being Dansup is throwing a wrench in my Googlefu.

Is good, no? Could also do Ganapedia. Ganapati (Ganesha) is the Hindu divine scribe. But thoth has such a cool history/myth around writing.

Thothpedia, with a little chibi thoth as the mascot. Thoth is the god of writing.

I use subtitles for everything, because I'm hard of hearing, but thanks for the warning!

And that sucks. It's based on a book series, yeah? If I'm super invested, hopefully I can get my fix like that.
