I don’t really use software for it. I just have a small safety net on top of what my monthly bills are and then part of the excess every month goes into HYSA, bonds, and VOO.

For long term, I use the tools our financial planner has. For short term I'm probably overboard but I've budgeted out for every paycheck what is left over after savings and standing expenses (daycare, cell, insurance, etc) and allocate that to 'free spending'. I track savings via Excel and paper pencil track what I spend each week against the 'free spending' I have. Anything left over I save to splurge on something at the end of year

I use QuickBooks Online for business and Every Dollar for personal.

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.
