Yep, it was. It's easier than YNAB but apparently not easy enough for OP.

FYI the idea of a spoiler is that it contains knowledge that is not widely known, my dude.

At this point I'm treating the thread like a live action drama/soap opera. The spoilers are for :zaurg: since not spoilering said spoilers would spoil the ending for him.

Meanwhile the rest of us can discuss his totally avoidable but inevitable financial predicament in the spoilers. This particular live action drama soap opera of one has been running for 10+ years, yet we all already know how the show ends.

Edit: New prediction. He's not posting the screenshot because he stopped using Pocket Smith when he found out it doesn't let him obfuscate the truth and to try and post a screenshot now would reveal that the numbers he's been posting so far are totally fictitious and have no resemblance to his real spending.

This.

Leng,

I cancelled Pocketsmith because it was not worth the $9.95 per month to me. It wouldn’t download transactions automatically so I would have to manually initiate a sync, making it slower and much less efficiency than what I enter manually into Google Sheets. Also the method required to setup savings funds and the tracking of balances in budgeted categories was confusing and cumbersome to me. Your assumption about me cancelling Pocketsmith because it wouldn’t let me obfuscate the truth is incorrect. In fact, I’m pretty sure the truth could be obfuscated in Pocketsmith. I could delete transactions in Pocketsmith, correct? Bottom line is obfuscating the truth regarding my finances, while you think is just something I do regularly, is not true and would only be hurting me and my family. I realize I’ll be tagged with that label for my life on SA given my behavior from Nov-2017 to Feb-2018 with the cryptocurrency, which was the last time I hid transactions from the thread.

Leng,

I cancelled Pocketsmith because it was not worth the $9.95 per month to me because I’m too loving stupid to figure out basic budgeting software so I’ll keep using my non budget spreadsheet to reconcile in the future.

FTFY

Loan Dusty Road posted:

I think it’s time for the “Pocket Smith Challenge”

If :zaurg: wants to continue, instead of paying $10 a month for bans, he spends $10 a month for Pocket Smith.

It’s the ultimate :zaurg: solution. He’s forced to use a system that his broke brain can’t poo poo all over, but he also gets to deep dive and feel like he’s not actually a moron.

Then the accusations go away. If :zaurg: is so great, Pocket Smith will show us. No lies, all light. A halo will hang above us all.




Show us :zaurg:

You refuse to use any professional tool out there. Because you can’t figure it out. Show us you know what you’re talking about.

Moneyball, please also consider that these angry posters may be upset with the performance of the stock market and use this thread as a punching bag, so it could be seen as a healthy outlet for their mental health issues. Many of these people here gamble in the stock market on individual stocks/options/puts/calls, etc. Hopefully they're timing the market wisely.

hey, why do you spend $1055 a month on a mortgage while living rent free in bfc posters' heads

zaurg
Mar 1, 2004
Spokes, I actually pay at least $9.95 per month or more to live in BFC heads, so there's that.

Also my mortgage is $955 per month but I throw another $100 towards principal. Just this morning I was considering stopping that and putting that $100 towards my car replacement fund, because of course I'm always looking for ways to tweak it to get it JUST RIGHT to solve ALL MY PROBLEMS. But I really want to stick with the early mortgage payoff plan. The $100/month plan chops off like a good 7 years off the 30 year mortgage, and a horseboatload full of cash saved from reduced interest payments.

Moronic, with all this gas it seems more like farting in the well instead of piss, and it is quite unpleasant!

Instead of climbing out I'm digging to the side. Climbing out was a bit too difficult, I know you guys gave instructions and I took some to get up part of the way, but the rest of the way I'm burrowing like a motherfuckin groundhog. I'll get out eventually, perhaps just a little slower, but I'll get out.
