Sure I been using a spreadsheet but it’s 2024 I figure I give it a try.

Drop the ref link! 😆

Nice. Most people have a privacy problem with SaaS like this though. But tbh, I don't mind if another company (from I don't know how many companies already know) knows how much milk I buy per week. (This time it's even a useful company that is worth their money.)

I know, as someone who LARPs a lot about ~privacy like me this might be unexpected that I am using YNAB connected to my bank account. But I also believe in "hiding in the crowd".

If you often pay with cash, you can also enter your transactions manually though.

I found out they indeed have a referral program:

Loving YNAB is so easy — and now it loves you back! When you refer a friend or family member, and they subscribe with your referral link, you both get a free month of YNAB!* We’ll keep track as friends sign-up and subscribe so that it’s easy to see your free months multiply!

*Referral program is only available for subscriptions purchased directly through YNAB or the Google Play store.

This is apparently my referral link: https://ynab.com/referral/?ref=EP_vdK4L1FbusFkd

Thanks. Yeah privacy is the reason why I stopped using a personal wealth app that tracked everything. And went to a spreadsheet on my local machine. But now I want to try something new. I need to face the music and come up with a plan to pay off all my debts

Oh, I didn't know this would be the case:

YNAB has told me which email you used for signup. Looks random though but in case that's PII: Your PII is safe with me 😅

Sorry!

I will let this message be a warning for other stackers trying to use my referral link. I did not intend to use this to harvest PII, lol

Hahah I kinda figured it would doxx me to you. I knew it would only be a matter of time before I doxx myself on this site! I went the lazy route and just used my normie email after the fact I was like damn hahah. So is life.

I setup a matrix server a few days ago and I more or less on accident used that server to login into a different server.

I think my matrix server domain also doxxed me a little, haha

I knew it would only be a matter of time before I doxx myself on this site!

Same here, I just try to postpone it or keep at least some PII a secret.
