Hey - Shout out to YNAB! I used to use that software pretty regularly, but when they changed from a bespoke desktop application to a web-based platform with subscription costs I fell off. They were a great company with a great philosophy for teaching people about budgeting and building financial skills. So much so that when they switched to their online model I basically just emulated their approach myself with Excel and some free tools, which I think is ultimately the end-goal of their software anyway.

Matrix Resurrections is that typical Wachowski thing of there being 10,000 ideas in the movie but it's debatable at best whether they all gel together. The ideas are interesting enough in themselves that it makes it a worthwhile experience for me but I could see how that would be frustrating for a lot of people.
