• Ask HN: Alternative to Mint.com?

  > A while back there was a tread in here where someone had an inexpensive one-time license mac software, but I cannot find it. I think you are looking for https://www.banktivity.com/ It feels a lot like Quicken which isn't a paradigm that works well for my brain and I moved to https://lunchmoney.app + a small app that consumes the API, does some transformations and exposes to Google Sheets' =IMPORTDATA formula.... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: Alternative to Mint.com?

  In past Ask HN threads I've seen recommendations for Lunch Money (https://lunchmoney.app/) and You Need A Budget (https://www.ynab.com/).

• Americans are spending billions on stuff they forget to cancel

  I would suggest something like [LunchMoney](https://lunchmoney.app/) instead. Built in budgeting, rules to classify payments, and recurring subscriptions are automatically found and called out. I had a bunch of issues with Personal Capital connections continuously messing up and there's no way to classify and evaluate the purchases. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: How do you manage your finances?

• Show HN: I spent 2 years building a personal finance simulator

  Well, I can't speak for most people, but one thing I've been doing is using this modeling as feedback into my budget. 1. Track my current expenses (I use https://lunchmoney.app/, but a spreadsheet works fine). Looks like I'm spending $X/month 2. Build a reasonably complete model of my financial life assuming $X expenses per month (I use ProjectionLab) 3. Do I run out of money before the end of my life? If yes,... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
