Venmo transactions can be public or private. (public transactions just show who sent money to whom and the memo, not how much was sent.) only rubes leave their transactions public, like your sweet summer friends who still have read receipts enabled on their messages.

all a budget is, is a plan to spend your income. what’s going where. so it’s a good idea to budget if your income is small, and also a good idea to budget if your income is large. everyone should know where their money is going, and want to spend/save it as wisely as they can.

Kids can only ride on your lap until age 2. Kids are in full-harness car seats way longer than that. Sure, you could bring a car seat on board for the kid to sit in, and we did, but once my son’s legs started to get longer, keeping him in the car seat on the plane positioned his feet in prime seat-kicking position.…

I have British Siri Man calling me Beyonce and it’s amazing. He says “shed-yool” as well, and this has led to a 130% increase in how often I use Siri to manage my calendar.

the thought of a gravy boat neti pot just made me smile in a way I haven’t smiled in days, so thank you very much.
