  • It’s cliche, but be the change you want to see in the world. Lots of people are set in their ways, but seeing someone behave with patience, consistency, and integrity actually moves the needle. Interrupting a church service is a surefire way to make people reject your ideals outright, regardless of the message. Leading by example, on the other hand, makes your values visible without forcing them—and that kind of positive influence tends to reinforce itself over time.

    You mention you yourself may be stubborn, you probably wouldn’t want some ideal forced down your throat, I imagine most people feel the same way.

    I like your examples of home gardening and free educational support, those are real actions that make a difference.









  • yeah if you want that same functionality of months in advance transactions - you’ll have to create a similar solution with the cron job i mentioned.

    Budgets work well enough. They allow you to create any number of budget “buckets” - and each can be configured in various ways:

    • fixed amount each period
    • add amount to bucket each period
    • add amount to bucket each period and correct for overspending

    You can even have different periods - daily, weekly, monthly, yearly - though I’ve only ever used monthly.

    When you create transactions you assign them to a budget and it shows you how much you have left in that budget
