You are not forced to play it. That is a just story you tell yourself. You can make a different choice.

Do folks any recommendations for automation around banking? We use a sort of "envelope system" across many accounts, and it would be helpful to have some timing to help automatically move and rebalance funds across the accounts.

My bank has some very limited options to move specific amounts of money on a weekly schedule, but I'm looking for something more powerful then that.

Should I look at like ~Stripe~ Plaid or something? Or are there more pre built tools?

The answers for each day (past and future) are hard coded in the javascript source and viewable in the client, so they are quite accessible for anyone that's interested

Ah! I had read this years ago and was recently trying to find it again, but had no luck. I find teaching children mathematics to be quite interesting, and I'm very delighted that this has crossed paths with me again.

For context:

This is the third post in a series. The author (Jason Scott) is trying to save ~25,000 manuals, instruction booklets, and engineering notes (largely electronics related, created over the last 80 years). This is a large project, the company which owns the manuals currently is going out of business, and all the manuals will be thrown away very soon (re: tomorrow).
