Better than GTA6

First of all, love the theme of this game. However, it should have been released as early access. Bugs galore, minimal content (quests are essentially given out by the same NPC's), and the game is only enjoyable because I play along with my wife.

Let me note: If this game *was* in early access, I actually would recommend it in the current state

Various Issues:
- Alchemy items purchased are unusable sometimes
- Cauldron minigame bugs out and reverses your input
- Quest progress disappears on restart (need to talk again and forward to a new day)
- Royal Quests are pure nonsense, not once have I been able to complete it
- The main draw of the game, potion crafting, is entirely too slow and you can't buy multiple cauldrons
- The level progression makes it more of a hassle when it completely changes your clientele between levels

Absolutely amazing base builder

Wow. One day in and I'm already realizing how much this is going to make me WORK to stay on top of my budget. I've never been glad I spent money to work on something before now.

After using this software for a few hours, I realized I was already doing this type of budgeting on a weekly basis and the transition was a little interesting. However, starting my budgeting at the end of the month helped, as I budgeted for the next month without having to worry about budgeting for the rest of the current month.

With YNAB, you focus on what you have right now - what you need for the rest of the month, not what you've been spending the previous months or even the day before. When I first started budgeting with YNAB I made the mistake of budgeting for December, which was already over! Luckily, it was a quick fix to copy to January and zero out December.

Something I realized while using YNAB: You are supposed to go over budget when you first start! The future you will be getting money and balancing it out, while hopefully looking forward to splitting some (or all) of an income towards next month. This is a huge spin on how to look at a budget, everything else (eg: mint) focuses on "How much you should make this month" and plan from there. YNAB brings the focus to "How much do I have this month?" and "What categories can I adjust to zero out?" effectively giving you more funds for next month (if you stayed on top of your budget). Starting the month after, you should start budgeting for "what you have right now," and not plan for future expenses. This lets you adjust to the way YNAB is supposed to be handled.

YNAB also forces you to stay on top of your budget. You need to manually input all your transactions, making sure to stay within budget, then come back to mark them as cleared afterwards after checking against your bank/credit statement! I have used mint for over a year now, and I must say that I had no incentive to come back and check to make sure I was within my budget, it just automatically budgeted for me. It got to the point where I hadn't looked at it for months!

YNAB requires the discipline to actually commit to your budget, and for that I give it 10/5 stars.
