The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I use Quicken. They have a yearly subscription now, which is annoying. I used to buy the software only after they obsoleted the old one (i.e. didn't "support" bank downloads). Which was about every 3 years. Now I have to pay annually.

Same. Was annoyed with the subscription only but we were so used to it and so many years into it we didn’t want to stop. We had both used it when we were single, and we merged our two files when we married…sickeningly cute, I know.

My bride has a ritual of putting in all our credit card receipts and such. We don’t budget. It’s nice to know where we are at.

We have a secret little handshake we use to celebrate the bottom right hand number going up. What we will do with all this dosh I don’t know.
