For decades I have been a financial planning fanatic. Going back to Quicken for DOS in the late 80s, it's been a crazy fun passion of mine and now with YNAB, even more so. However, my very busy professional wife doesn't share the same love of financial management. She's frugal, but loses interest quickly when we start going over spreadsheets and reports. She won't install YNAB and even if she did, she just wouldn't take the time to look at the data. It's not that she doesn't care, it's just that she trusts me to handle the finances and to inform her when there are concerns. There are times, though, when she does pop in to look at finances. These moments can be a bit stressful because she hasn't been involved. And when you're not plugged in consistently, you don't have context around the financial situation and that can cause some distress if you have different expectations. That's why I wrote ynab-a-day. It's a simple script that I can run once a day and it will send a brief snapshot of our finances to a chat channel using the data from YNAB. Right now it's integrated with Synology Chat using a webhook, but it's super-simple to add additional integration to other messaging solutions.
