I am done with YNAB, a spreadsheet with pivots and maybe some data visualization in a jupyter notebook will do fine. I don't want the overhead of self hosting a server. has anyone had success getting a backup out of ynab and into google sheets? I only have a small amount of days left on my sub.

I adopted a rent this week. Maybe you can too? I bet some of your coworkers can.

I bet your company is looking to get in good with Minnesotans and would donate to keep people housed.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a β€œweapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
