    Agreed with jofo. Imo the purpose of YNAB isn’t to track how much money you have in your bank account – it’s to track how much money you have available to spend. We already set aside money to pay for expenses we know we’re going to incur in the future, and we don’t let ourselves use that money for anything else. Philosophically, I feel like it’s the same thing? You never know when the recipient is going to cash it, so you may as well consider it spent right away.

    Alternately, I think it might work to put the transaction in immediately as “uncleared,” but then mark it as cleared once they cash it. That way, it shows up as a transaction immediately, but you don’t lose track of it not being cashed yet

    I agree that people need to post to keep communities alive, but it’s okay to grow slowly! I feel like people are still trying to understand what their daily flows are like without Reddit. Going two days without new posts, especially with how early this all is, doesn’t feel like a bad thing to me

    edit: oops double post
