I figure I’ll do something like this every so often.

What has been a category you created that really became useful to you or provided unexpected value?

As a first time homeowner, starting a Home Projects master category and slowly funding projects categorized beneath that.

So far, done a few small things. Chicken coup, vegetable planters, shade cloth cover over the patio. Lots of fun 😁

Chicken Coup: For ending the tyranny of the rooster! Chicken Coop: A place for raising chickens. 😂

I've always wanted a chicken coop, but my city doesn't allow it. Someday........someday.... How do you like it so far?!

I gotta try a home projects master category. Probably better than binning everything into the same category.

Probably the "giving" category. It‘s the category where I realize the most that a budget isn’t restraining and instead enables you to spend money how you actually want to. "Giving" is something that I find important and without having that category there, I’d really struggle to do it.
