Lauren, in the middle of dinner, looked at me, looked at Woods, and asked me "why I was hanging with the Geritol set?" I am STILL hurt, years later, that my dear friend M didn't cut Lauren right out of her life for that incredibly rude and mean comment. Nope, they're still friends. And my stomach hurts every time I see Lauren comment on any of M's posts on Facebook.
Yep, I've had that experience, more or less.
Why did I decide my project for today was entering all my credit card purchases into iBank? It turns out I don't want to do this at all!
What are your first and second favorite apple pies?
The Granny Smith apple, brown-sugar pie that I make and the apple-dried cherry pie that my upstairs neighbor makes.
Jessica,
but it will be worth it after you finish.
Said by the woman who updated ibank and has not inputted all her info yet and was supposed to be June 1.
I've been neglecting the credit card portions of my financial records (in the sense of tracking the transactions, I've been paying the bills faithfully) for ages. I think it's in the "Due Over a Year Ago" section of my to do list. I was hoping I could just download stuff into iBank because we are all living in the future and these things happen practically by magic, right? Not that I have even tried to do that.
OTOH, since iBank knows I've been making payments to my cards but doesn't know about the charges, it thinks I have way more net worth than I actually do, which is kind of nice in a self-delusional way.

That's how I do my checking/savings accounts, but since I need to enter the categories by hand anyway and I have the paper statements in front of me, this is almost as fast.
I'm three months more caught up than my last post! Unfortunately, I'm also missing a statement which is going to make me look way more paid off than I actually am.
Oh crap, I just realized this PTA picnic in an hour is a pot-luck. Quick, what can I make with a can of tomatoes, 3 zucchini, and half a head of escarole? Maybe I'll buy some cookies on the way there.
I don't know iBank, but what is better about it than Mint? Not that I don't have my Mint problems, but I don't have to enter in transactions myself.
I actually really dislike iBank - at the time I started using it, Quicken hadn't updated their Mac version in years and Mint was still very bare-bones, so it seemed like the best out of some very disappointing options. I'm using it now out of inertia. (And nothing has ever been as good as the old MS Money. Sigh.)
And Quicken does not run on macs with Lion.
