What tools do you use to track your money?

I'm using the good ol' Excel spreadsheet to track expenses, income, NW, etc. Are there any other tools or apps that you guys found useful?

Also shoutout to my fellow spreadsheet power users 😎

PSA: Lemmy.world has been compromised! (Edit: Multiple Instances are down)
  • The hacked MichelleG account actually commented that it did not have MFA enabled lol. This was on the lemmy.world shitpost community, on one of the posts making memes about the situation. Hilarious that the hacker decided to share that.

    FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

    Maybe the admin got hacked?

    edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

    The worst part of my commuting
  • Yeah it sucks that the freeway runs right through the middle of the city, it's a whole other trip to find safer roads to cross to the other side. Fortunately the Work-from-Home culture has stuck at my company so I don't have to do this everyday.

    The worst part of my commuting

    My city is full of these Cloverleaf interchanges where cars exiting the freeway are merging into high speed traffic.

    So I get to pedal down this road and get sandwiched between buses/trucks on the left and merging cars on the right. Legitimately the worst part of my commute where I might actually die. Fun!

    Welcome to FIRE!

    Hi all, I wanted to create this community for those interested in the FIRE movement to share their experiences.

    A few years ago, I started tracking my net worth and increasing my savings to hopefully even have a chance to retire, and now want to push further to achieving financial independence and MAYBE HOPEFULLY retire a few years earlier as well.

    Anyone else in a similar situation? How has the journey been for you so far?

    Mixed Zoning

    This seems like a no brainer for creating cities for any other country that is not the US, but I hope CS2 has vanilla mixed zoning buildings. Really want to create some nice cities from my home country without modding the game to death!
