$30,020.69 in the red

quicken
this $80 piece of software
isn't helping me budget.
it doesn't understand
why i'm not being paid
for jobs i quit long ago.
it is confused by cash back
with a purchase of tic-tacs.
i hate that i fell so hard
for the allure of all those
pretty charts & graphs.
to be honest, i never
wanted to budget per se.
my goals were much loftier.
i wanted to launch a massive
research project into my spending habits.
by mapping out every last transaction
i hoped to gain some concrete insight,
into what the hell i'm doing with my life.
so far the only 100% certain solid fact
i can wring out of the thing
is my net worth,
and it ain't pretty.
