I built (and, more importantly, released!) a thing!

It's very early stages but it's actually functional.

It's a Vue.js plugin for building Excel Add-ins. Such broad appeal, I know.

https://github.com/demsullivan/vue-excel

This project is actually a byproduct of another big thing I'm working on.

Currently, I use YNAB for budgeting, but I've been putting sustained effort into getting my data out of the cloud and self-hosting everything.

I started researching options for budgeting software, and I really couldn't find anything I liked or that felt like it had enough features.

I decided, then, to just whip up something in Excel... which led me to the discovery of Office.js and the ability to build Add-ins for Excel using web tech.

Thus, vue-excel was born.

I may eventually release my budgeting tool for Excel, when it's feeling a little more mature and stable. Stay tuned... ❤️

AA renewal was 50% up on last year. 7 minute call being super friendly, got that reduced to 9% by asking "What's the best deal you can do me today for the same package?"
That's literally paid for my shopping this morning.
Never auto renew, these bastards will have you.

Time Timers, in the digital age, has to be one of the largest and most useless money drains for schools, already equipped with projectors and computers?

Update: is being shut down and users are being shunted over to Credit Karma, which is not budgeting software and has almost zero functionality for that purpose. I am now trying from Quicken, which is so far pretty good. It does cost money ($28 per year with discount). More importantly it does not yet have the feature to exclude part of a split transaction from your budget, which was one of my most-used Mint features.

Question for parents, caregivers, or people who remember relevant details from their own childhood:

What tips and methods seem to work best for introducing the concept of money, savings and to young kids?

Our six-year-old is very smart, advanced at reading and getting better than average at math, but he's also impulsive*, so not sure about the jar advice.
