Do you guys know what I'm talking about?

It just wasn't designed to actually get the peaches out, I guess.
And then when you eat it, it's a whole entire peach with the pit in it.
So eating it is a mess, but I still did it for the novelty of it.
And to me in the moment that felt like a need because I love peaches.
But in retrospect, that was probably more of a want.
I would have categorized that a little bit differently.
That's all to say, it's hard to sort these things out in the moment.

I mean, I would hope that some apps...
that have a functionality where you could split purchases in one purchase into different categories?
I mean, I imagine it depends on the app that you're using.
How does the app know if those peaches are my need or my want?
Yeah, that sounds really crucial for YNAB in particular because of how it functions.
This is a zero-based budgeting app, meaning that every single dollar in your budget is accounted for and would be allocated across these different categories.
