This should be at the top. This is why at home I read about tech and at work I execute tech. There's reading and then there's doing. Reading should be considered a side project when you work full time executing .

YNAB is awesome--the desktop version, that is. Unfortunately, they're going the web route for obvious reasons; but for me, I'm holding on to the desktop version as long as it can run on a Mac, which I hope will be a long time. I&#
