| Strange things are afoot at the Chic-fil-A |
Like the guy in Super Size Me, I have not gotten sick of this food despite repeated trips to both establishments. Heck, I'm even getting experimental. I tried adding bacon to the original Chic-fil-A sandwich. That should result in a transcendent experience right? It was good, but didn't seem like an improvement.
Yeah, I was as surprised as our friend Ted Theodore Logan. Does this mean bacon is not the magical food of lore? Or does it mean the Original Chic-fil-A sandwich is such a work of perfection that adding bacon cannot improve it? Infinity awesome + Infinity awesome still equals = FLAT OUT AWESOME. Or Infinity Awesome just said another way.
So this post got me wondering... How much money has my family spent at Chic-fil-A? It seems like we are there a lot, but not that much right? Besides you can never have too much of a good thing.. Right??? So I decided to hop on Mint and see what my spending history has been and now I share it with you:
WAIT, SO WHAT?? EVERYONE LOVES CHIC-FIL-A!!!
Yeah. That was my reaction too. Good thing those guys are not open on Sunday.

Where does he get those wonderful [cartoons]!?
I confess my reaction was akin to that of the final cartoon. On the other hand, what's the time length? $10,000 at Chic-fil-a over 20 years is much more fathomable than, say, one week.
Also, while I'm sure Mint is very delectable, and I've heard good things about it, I exhort you with all the energy of my soul to take 5-20 minutes considering You Need a Budget (YNAB). Once we started applying its simple guiding principles correctly (which anyone can do, "with or without [the software]"), we noticed a substantial increase in effectiveness and peace of mind.

I think one of the major contrasts between YNAB and more "traditional" (yet technically more advanced) budgeting software is the ownership: With YNAB, users enter their purchases, as they happen, baby!, rather than waiting for it to populate online. This way, they're always abreast/conscious of their spending decisions.
Again, I highly recommend it.
NOTE: I am not a bot and am not paid for my above fanboyishness/unsolicited spam.
I will say this comes from over 5 years of spending... but still.
THEY PUT AN ADDICTIVE CHEMICAL IN THE CHICKEN THAT MAKES YOU CRAVE IT FORTNIGHT!!
Indeed. I suspect the Colonel and the Meadows may also be involved.
