New comment by nimbleplum40 in "FDA approves first medication to reduce allergic reactions to multiple foods"

Far from a silver bullet, but still exciting as the first medicine of its kind! Accidental exposure happens to pretty much everyone with food allergies, so reducing the risk of anaphylaxis by ~70% is huge and will save lives.

This is taking regularly to reduce the risk of even having an anaphylactic reaction if exposed to an allergen.

When you say “transfer money to discretionary” for example, is that a category in your budget or a separate account?

I’ve never had YNAB double up a transfer.

Also, capital gains - not sure what the issue is there either. Add a transaction and categorize it to “Ready To Assign”. Works great.

Have you found value out of this? I just consider cash spent as soon as I withdraw it, as far as the budget goes. Tracking small change sounds tedious and seems line it wouldn’t provide value, but so I’m curious to hear if you think differently.

What about it is useless?

I’ve found it to be incredibly useful. And prior to that I used ledger for a few years. Ledger was great, but personally I find YNAB to be more useful because the budgeting features are the focus, not the accounting.

That would be awful… why have everyone get off of trains outside the city then get on different trains for the final crossing into the city?

> All they build are really the buildings that are meant to store value for foreign investors, typical open plan offices or warehouses.

Offices and warehouses is not what I expected to follow the first part of that sentence… office and warehouses are pretty productive! And likely a better use of space in a dense urban environment than a manufacturing facility.
