What about teaching?

Re:Ask HN: How do you record your personal finances? on Friday June 22, 2018 @03:35PM (#17376719)

I was in the same position last year, here's what I did:

- First month: Downloaded YNAB; every day or two, I logged into my bank accounts and check all transactions, added transactions to YNAB (creating budget categories as necessary). By the end of the month, I had a budget (a very bad budget).

- Second month: Review all expenses of previous month and create upper bounds for budget categories (groceries, gas, going out money, books, etc.), removing "unnecessary" expenses (mostly monthly subscriptions). Wrote scrapper for fetching bank transactions.

- Third month: Review last month budget and adjust accordantly.

And that's it. Just keep it simple.

If so, Could please talk about what were your biggest challenges? Any advice?

Ask HN: Recycling center – 3rd world country

from the ask-hn dept.

Hi,I'm a young software engineering, living in a third world country. I love my country, but it worries me that we have no recycling practices whatsoever - and I want to try to change that (as much as I can), but I don't know where to start ... I have zero knowledge about recycling and operating any kind of business.- Should I pursue something like an MBA? Or maybe an specialized Engineering...
