Tough To Say Whether It’s Even Decent
Tagged as: Jun 18I have been working on a budgeting application called Budse (actually for quite some time now). It’s a straight forward application that allows you to create a set of accounts that have rules assigned to them, which dictate how to split up whole account deposits (e.g., a paycheck). I originally had the idea because I wanted to start budgeting using the 40-30-20-10 rule. But then I realized that I wanted to use the idea but customize it a little bit more for my needs.
But enough about the details. On to my point.
So I am working on Budse by myself. I started the project, and it has been a one-man show the whole time. As an individual developer working on an open source project, sometimes I dream. I start to think big about people actually using it. Big dreams, I know. Haha currently I doubt it if anyone aside from me uses it. When I was coding and especially when I was deciding on how to license it, I thought that since it fulfilled my need it would be useful to other people as well. Maybe that’s not true. Maybe it is. It remains to be seen.
It is so easy to dream of becoming great. But maybe dreaming big isn’t such a bad thing. Maybe if I lost the ability to dream big, I would lose a little bit of who I am. So while I am currently unsatisfied with its use, I am definitely going to press forward!
Oops! Meant to leave the comment over here – I put it on your old post. Anyway, it was like this –
Let’s see…nope. At that 30% thing there’s no way I could even have an apartment, much less food. I think that’s a little too stringent for me. You know what I liked? That Dave Ramsey guy. I’ve never heard his radio program but I got his book out of the library & I thought it made a lot of sense. I call it “Christian budgeting”.
BTW, love your spam and eggs comment in the Budse thing!
