  • And I’m going to plug YNAB which is why I have these numbers, it costs $120/yr which is included. Highly recommend doing some kind of budgeting even if it’s on paper in a notebook once a month because all these costs can creep up. If you want free electronic use a spreadsheet.

    My problem with getting and staying on budget is keeping up with data entry, YNAB and it’s ilk are all too manual. And the automatic ones have issues pulling together all my accounts and reconsilling the transactions between them. For example, a $10 PayPal debit from my bank account and it’s companion PayPal transaction should be correlated as the same transaction, but all the softwares I’ve tried would automatically treat them as separate no matter what I did. Which would ultimately throw off all the nice budget numbers making them uselss

    I was hoping the genAI craziness would at least bore out a great fully automated budget system that would at least mostly solve my problem, but alas I still have yet to hear anything on that front :/




  • Depends, for companies on a Pro plan or below they have to request it and slack will only approve said request if required to by law or other legal requirement (or consent of user in question)

    Above that plan, only Workspace Owner admins specifically can access it. A workspace owner is the one who originally signed up for the plan and users directly designated to be a Workspace Owner from the original one.

    Frankly, if it’s something that can get you in trouble DON’T use a work thing for it whatsoever! Be it slack, your work computer or work email.

    If you want to talk about such things with a coworker, ask for their damn phone number or find them on SM, seriously, keep it off work stuff. There’s always a way to access even supposedly private stuff if done on a work device or service.

  • Is not a cure-all by any means, they have their own problems

    Did you know that a bank is specifically forbidden from taking money from a checking or savings accounts to satisfy a payment owed without your express authorization if you also have a loan/credit card through the same bank?

    Did you also know that CUs are exempted from that consumer protection regulation? That’s right and many of them exercise their ability, I learned this the hard way, when MF’in NFCU ripped a 300$ payment out of my account that was 2 or 3 weeks late on an unsecured loan (it wasnt even a couple months) and screwed over my ability to make my rent that month.

    They also have the DUMBEST online account security practices. “We can’t have you set your own username for “security” so you’ll have to wait for us to mail you a letter with a user ID on it, oh and to log in for the first time you’ll have to wait another week for us to also mail you a new account pin”

    CUs might be a tad better than banks, but they are NO savior.
