So true! Especially when it inadvertently decides to refactor the parts that didn’t need refactoring 🤣

Oh my! Total nostalgia unlocked!

"A" makes it clear to me those options are directly related to TurboStarter.

What types of investments would you be looking to see?
February 8, 2025 at 2:48 AM
Makes perfect sense. Thanks for humoring me as well. I will always swear by the calculator I keep on my desk haha

Do you ever look for opportunity to play with different financial scenarios?
February 8, 2025 at 2:38 AM
I get that! Honestly, all I’ve ever trusted was a spreadsheet too, until I built one that spreadsheets for me and lets me plan different scenarios without screwing up my ledger.
Definitely more of a planning partner. Out of curiosity, what’s the hardest part of managing money in Excel for you?

lololol

Now that’s a game I want to play!

I never realized how much algorithmic math was used for game dev until I built my first one 🤣

Hoping you can get back to the graphic parts soon! 🤞

I'm curious. Have you ever tried a budgeting tool that just didn’t work for you? What was missing? What’s been the biggest struggle in planning your financial future?

I realized what was missing! A true financial forecasting tool that:

✅ Shows how my money moves over time
✅ Views money the same way I do in my business
✅ Flags when interest is about to start or get out of control
✅ Helps me actually plan big purchases & debt payoff

So… I built it.

I tried all the best personal finance tools.

They tracked my spending.
They gave me graphs.
They told me I was on track!

But they never actually helped me change anything. I needed a way to see the future of my money, not just the present.

Budgeting apps always told me I was 'doing fine'. Meanwhile…

💰 Debt wasn’t budging.
📉 Interest was stacking up.
🚫 Savings? What savings?

I felt like I was just surviving and never getting ahead. Sound familiar?
February 7, 2025 at 11:10 PM
Totally agree! LLM’s for sure have their differences. But it’s more in the ability to prompt them well that provides good outputs.

Unless I've fully validated an idea, I now go with .com's. I've wasted so much money buying .ai's for initial ideas 🤣

If only more people thought founder mode included terraforming 😂
Respect.

Having the native apps for ChatGPT, I'm finding it hard not to keep coming back to it.
