I needed a spreadsheet solution but couldn’t be bothered to design and build it myself. No problem, I’ll spend $5 on an Etsy solution. Pay the money; now waiting 72 hours for payment clearance. Awesome. That time-saving idea didn’t quite pan out.
A Family Affair, 2024 - ★½
A couple of funny lines and lots of Zac Efron muscle shots. Why the hell did I watch this?
Those shockwaves you just heard? Yes, that was me deleting my YNAB account. I’m now all-in on Actual Budget hosted on Pikapods.

It doesn’t matter how organised your task list is, you still need to do the task. I’ve procrastinated on my boots for two years!
🔗 ROSS GITTINS: The RBA has squeezed us like a lemon, but it’s still not happy
Problems such as higher world petrol prices and higher insurance premiums caused by increased extreme weather events.
I’d like to see Bullock put up a big sign in the Reserve’s office: “If it’s not coming from demand, interest rates won’t fix it.”
Ross Gittins succinctly notes the disconnect in the Australian economy and the frustration of interest rates as a singular mechanism.
Mortgage holders, such as myself, have cut back and the data shows it. The problem is elsewhere, and so the solution must be also.

And, let me reiterate that I understand this was irrational, driven wholly by anxiety. These were inside thoughts, and inside thoughts are better left alone
Keenan has the best lines. I often listen to my inside thoughts even when I shouldn’t.
