Today on Freedom Tech weekend, I have 37 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,880 so many different Freedom Tech names floating around in my head. Today on Freedom Tech weekend, 38 00:02:21,060 --> 00:02:27,120 we are going to be talking about personal finance, business finance, using a Freedom Tech tool called 39 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:34,100 Firefly 3. If you have been around the Freedom Tech space and tried to explore how do I do my 40 00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:39,600 own accounting, you've probably come across this project. I don't know if you use it or not, but 41 00:02:39,860 --> 00:02:45,299 I personally have not actually used it yet, but I'm finally at the point where I am so done 42 00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:51,980 paying for monthly and annual subscriptions basically to Intuit. I've been doing it for 43 00:02:52,140 --> 00:02:58,440 way too long and spreadsheets just aren't enough. So I am going to make the plunge in the Firefly 44 00:02:58,580 --> 00:03:04,640 3 and see if I can make it work for me. I know that other places, other organizations that I've 45 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:10,719 talked to that are more Freedom Tech oriented have been using it. So it seems like it's capable 46 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,820 and we're going to go over it today together and look at it and see if it might be capable for you. 47 00:03:16,290 --> 00:03:17,580 All right, so let me share my screen. 48 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,080 I'm going to jump into it. 49 00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:23,000 Share a window. 50 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,020 Okay, so like I said at the very beginning, 51 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,560 I have changed my setup here to where I'm streaming from my laptop. 52 00:03:33,099 --> 00:03:34,520 I think I've improved the audio. 53 00:03:34,810 --> 00:03:36,740 Last week, the audio got really bad later on, 54 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,500 So I'm going to listen back on this if it gets awful. 55 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,240 I'll do some more tinkering with it to see if I can improve the audio. 56 00:03:43,930 --> 00:03:48,140 But then what I've done is I have a home server, which I highly recommend everybody get a home server. 57 00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:53,020 And I am remoting into that home server, and I'm going to share that window here. 58 00:03:53,550 --> 00:03:59,580 So that way I can have like this clean environment, this sandbox, if you will, where I can put all the things that we're talking about today. 59 00:04:00,660 --> 00:04:01,020 Okay. 60 00:04:01,580 --> 00:04:02,280 So here we are. 61 00:04:02,420 --> 00:04:05,160 We got Firefly 3, and I've got Maple open up on the side 62 00:04:05,540 --> 00:04:08,940 because, you know, as we're chatting, oftentimes questions come up, 63 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,000 and so I can type in questions here and get things figured out. 64 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,620 And Maple is a private AI chat, confidential. 65 00:04:15,420 --> 00:04:16,120 You can get a free account. 66 00:04:16,299 --> 00:04:21,239 Just go to trymaple.ai, get your own free account, and start protecting your chats. 67 00:04:21,859 --> 00:04:24,980 Don't give all your data over to ChatGPT and other big organizations. 68 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,940 We are freedom tech oriented here, and so protect yourself. 69 00:04:31,140 --> 00:04:32,480 All right, so what is Firefly 3? 70 00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:37,640 Firefly 3 is a replacement for Quicken, QuickBooks, 71 00:04:38,620 --> 00:04:42,280 you name it, any other big personal finance tool out there. 72 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,300 There are lots of little personal finance tools. 73 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,900 If you go on the web, go on to any app store, 74 00:04:47,540 --> 00:04:51,380 whether it's on a Mac or on a phone, Android, iOS, 75 00:04:51,740 --> 00:04:53,300 there'll be lots of personal finance apps. 76 00:04:54,780 --> 00:04:56,420 And they all do great things, 77 00:04:56,540 --> 00:04:58,620 but in general, they all do roughly the same thing. 78 00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:00,680 They take transactions in from a bank, 79 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,780 and then they categorize those transactions and then they show you how much you're spending 80 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,660 and which categories you're spending them in so that you can get a look at how your finances are. 81 00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:20,880 That's the basics of it. But there is a huge data privacy implication here that we often just kind 82 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:28,100 of sweep under the rug because on the websites, like if we go to Intuit, right? 83 00:05:33,539 --> 00:05:38,620 So if we go into its website, let's see how long it takes to scroll before I see some 84 00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:40,140 kind of security thing. 85 00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:46,140 Oh, they're not even like talking about it right in the front. 86 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:47,200 Secure. 87 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,160 Let's just ask Maple. 88 00:05:49,940 --> 00:05:53,740 How secure and private is QuickBooks? 89 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:54,440 Okay. 90 00:05:54,700 --> 00:06:00,060 QuickBooks is the gold standard for small and large business accounting, right? 91 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,920 Okay, it's a popular accounting tool. 92 00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:02,780 Data encryption. 93 00:06:03,060 --> 00:06:06,060 QuickBooks uses encryption to protect data both in transit and at rest. 94 00:06:06,260 --> 00:06:09,720 This ensures that even if unauthorized parties intercept data, they won't be able to read it. 95 00:06:10,220 --> 00:06:12,000 Okay, but how do they encrypt it at rest? 96 00:06:12,260 --> 00:06:17,300 Are they encrypting it individually to your company or are they encrypting all of it together? 97 00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:19,640 Let's ask. 98 00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:22,540 I'm going to copy and paste this real quick. 99 00:06:25,740 --> 00:06:27,780 you said this 100 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:40,540 are they encrypting each user account separately or together with other accounts 101 00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:47,600 my guess is that it is in one big pool because i don't have a private key that i manage 102 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,640 when I use QuickBooks, right? 103 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,500 It's encrypted at the file level. 104 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,500 Each user's data is encrypted separately using... 105 00:06:53,540 --> 00:06:55,720 Okay, so I do have to put a unique encryption key 106 00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:56,400 on my account. 107 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:57,220 That's awesome. 108 00:06:57,840 --> 00:06:58,840 Encryption keys are stored separately. 109 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,380 Encryption keys are stored in a separate 110 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,680 secure key management system, 111 00:07:01,740 --> 00:07:02,360 which is not accessible. 112 00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:04,240 And then they use... 113 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,820 Okay, well, that is good to know. 114 00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:09,260 So QuickBooks does encrypt. 115 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,080 I do remember when I unlock my QuickBooks file, 116 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,700 I have to type in a private password. 117 00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:15,340 So that is great. 118 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,780 They do have a cloud infrastructure 119 00:07:17,780 --> 00:07:20,980 multi-tenant, meaning that multiple user accounts are hosted on the same servers. However, each 120 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,320 user's data is logically separated and encrypted separately using the methods described above. 121 00:07:26,060 --> 00:07:29,740 This ensures that even if an unauthorized party gains access to the underlying infrastructure, 122 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,660 they will not be able to access or read data from user accounts. Okay, I want to be honest here on 123 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,500 the platform, so I don't want to just like talk crap and not be able to back it up. So it sounds 124 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,900 like even in their QuickBooks Online, which they are pushing everybody to QuickBooks Online now, 125 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:49,540 It's almost near impossible to download and run a local version. 126 00:07:50,540 --> 00:07:51,280 They do let you. 127 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,180 It's hard to find. 128 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,840 But once you get it, you can download it and run it. 129 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,640 But then they actually charge a lot. 130 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:02,440 And they charge, in my experience, they charge more for the desktop version than they do for QuickBooks Online. 131 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,540 They're just trying to push everybody to this multi-tenant situation. 132 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,100 So they say that they're encrypting it separately. 133 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,820 One thing that we are not able to verify is we do not know which code they are running on their servers. 134 00:08:13,940 --> 00:08:18,480 They're not using enclaves with open source or verifiable code, so we have no 135 00:08:18,630 --> 00:08:22,320 idea what Intuit is running. When you type in your encryption key, you don't, 136 00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:27,560 you aren't guaranteed that privacy because you don't know they might be 137 00:08:27,620 --> 00:08:31,540 logging that key on their servers somewhere, or for safety reasons, right? 138 00:08:34,940 --> 00:08:40,460 Okay, that's QuickBooks. This is what everybody uses. It's really expensive. If 139 00:08:40,539 --> 00:08:43,039 you want to find out the pricing, you can go there. This is not an advertisement 140 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:47,980 for QuickBooks. Instead, we are wanting to look at how can I move off of that platform and stop 141 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:54,740 paying $20, $30, $40, $50 a month, even more than that, hundreds of dollars a month, if you are a 142 00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:01,460 big account, and do something else on your own that gets you 85, 90% of the way there, maybe 95% 143 00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:06,720 of the way there. There's a little bit of extra work you have to do. Obviously, there are trade 144 00:09:06,900 --> 00:09:11,819 offs. And total cost of ownership is a phrase that a lot of people use. It's going to take a 145 00:09:11,820 --> 00:09:17,980 little bit more time doing Firefly, especially in the early days when you set it up. And the UX is 146 00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:25,920 not as slick as a multi-billion dollar company that's building these tools. Okay, so Firefly 3, 147 00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:29,980 it does all the stuff you'd expect. Full transaction management, you can import your data 148 00:09:30,090 --> 00:09:35,000 from any source. They have their own data importer tool. This imports it from banks, CSV files. If 149 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,259 you've been using another tool like YNAB, you need a budget, you can get your data out of YNAB 150 00:09:40,260 --> 00:09:45,080 been imported into here so which which is a big help if you want to you know take what you already 151 00:09:45,220 --> 00:09:49,720 have and get up and running quickly they've got this rule engine like everybody else does and so 152 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:55,740 it takes your transactions and it can use some kind of smart heuristics to identify the transaction 153 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,340 and categorize it correctly you can have budgets categories you can put tags on your stuff so it's 154 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:07,499 very flexible um it it obviously behaves like uh any linux app out there that you would expect 155 00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:15,680 They try to give you like all the customization stuff and the UX in my mind kind of follows suit that it's again 156 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,360 It's not as nice, but 157 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,940 They aren't bringing in a lot of money. They just do it optimations 158 00:10:24,220 --> 00:10:28,820 Okay, they also have an API JSON rest API, okay 159 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,999 We are going to before we dive into the demo 160 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,960 I do want to look at, you know, they have documentation tutorials, but I really like going over to the open source, go over to GitHub. 161 00:10:41,580 --> 00:10:42,980 Now, let's look at the license first. 162 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,240 The license is AGPL. 163 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,420 We could have a whole other discussion on another day. 164 00:10:47,780 --> 00:10:53,300 Maybe we could do this for one of our Freedom Tech weekends is a deep dive into licenses for open source software. 165 00:10:54,179 --> 00:10:57,740 So some people have an aversion to any kind of GPL license. 166 00:10:58,380 --> 00:10:59,500 This one is AGPL. 167 00:11:01,380 --> 00:11:02,140 It is what it is. 168 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,060 I don't want to get into the deep weeds of that right now, but this is open source. 169 00:11:05,340 --> 00:11:06,020 You can inspect it. 170 00:11:06,020 --> 00:11:06,960 You can run it on your own. 171 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,640 If you don't like the license, don't make any updates to it. 172 00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:16,260 Don't come out with your own version of accounting software that borrows from this. 173 00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:18,740 So just be aware of that. 174 00:11:19,210 --> 00:11:24,840 But if you're simply using it as an end user, this is a great way that you can inspect the code. 175 00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:35,020 Make sure that when you import data into Firefly, it is not secretly being sent off to some Firefly project owner or some government institution. 176 00:11:36,140 --> 00:11:41,340 You can verify that the data is being handled appropriately for you. 177 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,120 Okay, so they've got a popular GitHub repository here, the repo. 178 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,020 It's got lots of stars, 18,000 stars. 179 00:11:49,260 --> 00:11:50,660 It's been forked over 1,000 times. 180 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,660 They're very active in here, right? 181 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:58,200 they were just publishing in here last week, over 20,000 commits. I like to kind of glance down and 182 00:11:58,210 --> 00:12:02,320 just see like, what are the dates? Sometimes it's like, oh, they were active yesterday, but they 183 00:12:02,330 --> 00:12:07,300 just updated one readme file and everything else has been stale for over a year. This is not the 184 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,480 case. It's been touched. Lots of parts of it have been touched over the last couple months. 185 00:12:12,850 --> 00:12:18,979 So this is still in active development. The GitHub, I actually think is better from 186 00:12:18,980 --> 00:12:25,360 a understanding what this is is better than um than the website itself and maybe that's because 187 00:12:25,540 --> 00:12:31,560 they're looking here more but they really get into um a better summary of what firefly is what 188 00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:36,240 the purpose is right they've got these screenshots in here that show you the dashboard they call it 189 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,620 a personal financial management tool but as i was playing around with it and using it i'm going to 190 00:12:40,620 --> 00:12:47,059 use it for work as well um for my own my own personal side businesses that i have i've been 191 00:12:47,060 --> 00:12:51,300 using, well I was using QuickBooks for those, but it got too expensive, so then I just moved 192 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,940 over to spreadsheets, which spreadsheets are, spreadsheets kind of are good enough for most 193 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,920 everybody, but I would like something just a little bit more than that, and so I'm going to 194 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:06,860 move both my personal finances over to Firefly, and then also move some of the small side businesses 195 00:13:07,060 --> 00:13:13,020 that we have over to Firefly, and work on them there, and so here are the feature set, you know, 196 00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:17,140 double entry bookkeeping, which everybody expects. Save towards the goal using piggy banks. 197 00:13:17,780 --> 00:13:25,320 Piggy banks in my quick use are kind of like the envelope system or just any kind of like saving, 198 00:13:26,620 --> 00:13:31,420 not saving account, but like sub accounts. So you're saving up for a specific thing. So maybe 199 00:13:31,420 --> 00:13:35,800 you want to buy a car and you're saving for a down payment on the car, or you want to pay for 200 00:13:36,380 --> 00:13:41,279 pay cash for the car outright. Then you can set up a piggy bank and automatically funnel 201 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,380 money into that every month. So really it's like this virtualization of your bank account, 202 00:13:47,180 --> 00:13:51,240 which is how I like to look at it because I'm more computer software, you know, science, 203 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:57,720 computer science oriented that I take my bank account and I just have a bunch of cash sitting 204 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,120 in there. But then this tool is what I use to kind of virtualize that. And so really 205 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,800 my bank account is actually divided up into a bunch of little savings buckets, 206 00:14:06,930 --> 00:14:10,019 a bunch of little spending buckets, and I'm just constantly filling up those buckets 207 00:14:10,020 --> 00:14:15,200 with dollars and then as money leaves my bank account it comes into the software 208 00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:23,120 it shows me what I spent and I'm able to manage it there okay you also get things 209 00:14:23,260 --> 00:14:27,440 that you would hope for but not expect they let you do two-factor authentication 210 00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:32,060 so if you're hosting this yourself in the cloud or at home you can do 2f a 211 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,099 into it which is super awesome because it has a lot of sensitive information 212 00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:39,980 about you as well as potential connections to live connections to bank 213 00:14:40,140 --> 00:14:44,420 websites or even if you're just doing it important yourself it's got a lot of 214 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,680 sensitive information a lot that supports pretty much any all the world 215 00:14:49,780 --> 00:14:54,420 currencies I have not looked to see it supports Bitcoin it might and maybe you 216 00:14:54,420 --> 00:14:57,800 can add it in there and then you can run it in docker there are a ton of 217 00:14:57,830 --> 00:15:01,139 different ways to run this thing they've got documentation for that you pretty 218 00:15:01,140 --> 00:15:01,860 pretty much will run anywhere. 219 00:15:03,060 --> 00:15:03,740 Yeah, right here. 220 00:15:04,140 --> 00:15:06,340 You can install it on a server, Docker, Kubernetes, 221 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,500 and then a bunch of different places. 222 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,640 So it's great, and then feel free to contribute 223 00:15:11,660 --> 00:15:12,140 if you want to. 224 00:15:12,940 --> 00:15:16,140 Okay, I'm gonna come over here real quick and ask it, 225 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:25,280 compare QuickBooks and Quicken to Firefly 3, 226 00:15:26,180 --> 00:15:30,440 the open source finance. 227 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,780 accounting tool. There is a distinction between finance and accounting so I try 228 00:15:37,780 --> 00:15:41,760 to be careful with that. Most people just use them interchangeably because they 229 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,000 don't actually get into the weeds here. 230 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:47,200 Okay. 231 00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:54,140 It does say Firefly's personal small business finance financial management 232 00:15:54,240 --> 00:16:00,180 tool. Yeah obviously open source, self-hosted, self-hosted, encryption, 233 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,080 access controls can be implemented by the user regular security updates and 234 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,080 patches to the open source community right whereas when it's when you're 235 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:13,100 using into it proprietary software closed ecosystem you cannot inspect the 236 00:16:13,220 --> 00:16:15,880 servers that it's running on you can inspect the code that's running on those 237 00:16:15,940 --> 00:16:22,120 servers the encryption access controls are managed by into it not by you some 238 00:16:22,150 --> 00:16:25,720 would say that's great they don't want to worry about that others you know 239 00:16:25,820 --> 00:16:29,119 we're freedom type oriented we want to make sure we know who has access to our 240 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:35,380 data and when you're using a proprietary tool that's hosted by someone else if they are not 241 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,580 running with secure enclaves and giving you some of this this access that you need 242 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:47,360 you you are just trusting them okay and obviously there are costs and licensing things going on here 243 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,740 so we've got a we've got a good comparison i could dig in deeper if i wanted to i'm not going 244 00:16:51,740 --> 00:16:56,399 to read word for word because there's nothing worse than someone this isn't a new thing now 245 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:01,660 right you're in a conversation with somebody and rather than them like digesting some information 246 00:17:02,180 --> 00:17:06,600 and then like giving you back like their their filter take with their mind they just copy and 247 00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:13,939 paste like oh i was chatting with ai copy paste here you read this ai response uh it's i i have 248 00:17:13,980 --> 00:17:19,520 grown tired of that real quick and i hope that we move along past that soon i don't like this 249 00:17:19,579 --> 00:17:23,739 phase that we're in right now where people just copy and pasting it feels like let me google that 250 00:17:23,740 --> 00:17:27,540 for you. It's like, let me AI that for you. And then boom, I'm not even going to read it and 251 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,620 summarize it for you and like make it relevant to this conversation. I'm just going to give you 252 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:39,800 this giant, you know, essay of 30 bullet points. Each one is a paragraph long that you now have 253 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:48,540 to read. No, I'm not cool with that. Okay. Now, I have not set up Firefly yet on this computer, 254 00:17:50,780 --> 00:17:53,460 Part of the reason why is because they actually have a demo available. 255 00:17:54,260 --> 00:17:57,660 This is a hard thing to do on something like Freedom Tech Weekend 256 00:17:57,820 --> 00:18:04,000 because I don't want to obviously share my own financial situation and my docs myself. 257 00:18:05,260 --> 00:18:08,740 And so I was going to create a bunch of fake data, which I could easily do with Maple, 258 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,040 which I love doing that. 259 00:18:11,220 --> 00:18:14,680 But they have a demo site, and it's actually pretty good. 260 00:18:14,820 --> 00:18:17,600 So we're just going to use the live demo and go over it now. 261 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,100 So I'm going to click on demo. 262 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:20,920 Okay. 263 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,220 And then I'm just going to sign in. 264 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,340 And jump right into it. 265 00:18:26,540 --> 00:18:30,940 One thing I wanted to point out before I jump into here was the data import tool. 266 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:36,620 So if you want to do, on their website, they got a bunch of tutorials, which are helpful. 267 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:37,780 I read through a bunch of these. 268 00:18:38,370 --> 00:18:40,400 So they have tutorials, Firefly 3. 269 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,620 And then if you want to use, if you want to like set up importing of data from your bank account, 270 00:18:45,770 --> 00:18:47,460 because nobody wants to enter transactions manually. 271 00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:52,900 that's like old school way of doing it it's a separate tool called the the data importer 272 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:59,780 and it uses their api so um you have to run that separately which i don't think will be very hard 273 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,440 to do but just know that you're going to be running two pieces of software and then with 274 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:11,139 their api now that we can like vibe code the crap out of everything um you could build your own 275 00:19:11,140 --> 00:19:18,080 stuff. So there's a lot of cool things that you could do here. They expose like everything in 276 00:19:18,110 --> 00:19:23,160 their API. I mean, I'm still scrolling here and I'm only 40% of the way down the page. Okay. 277 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,140 So if you are technically minded and you think, well, I've got this really specific setup with 278 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:34,700 what I do, they have this awesome API. And if you're running yourself, you're not going to be 279 00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:39,079 rate limited. You're not going to have to worry about sometime in the future, the company was 280 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:44,620 like, hey, we have this open API. Everybody can use it. And then suddenly one day they realized, 281 00:19:44,890 --> 00:19:48,680 well, we need to lock this API down because we want it to be a revenue source for us. So now 282 00:19:48,750 --> 00:19:52,560 they're going to jack up the prices and you get priced out of being able to use your API. This 283 00:19:52,660 --> 00:19:57,400 won't happen with you with Firefly. So you can talk the API on your own, running it yourself. 284 00:19:57,940 --> 00:20:07,880 Okay. There are caveats that make sure that the licensing, it is a GPL V3 on the API itself. 285 00:20:08,140 --> 00:20:13,560 I don't think that would apply to the tool that you're using to talk to the API, but 286 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:13,880 don't. 287 00:20:14,060 --> 00:20:14,920 I'm not a lawyer. 288 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,280 Do your own research there. 289 00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:19,900 Have a chat with Maple or something like that with AI. 290 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:21,840 Figure that out for yourself. 291 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,060 But that's a huge win right there, having this cool API that you can access. 292 00:20:27,940 --> 00:20:29,580 Okay, let's get into the demo here. 293 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,520 We have about 15 minutes left on our stream. 294 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,620 We're up to how many viewers here? 295 00:20:36,780 --> 00:20:40,540 I always lose the new side of the account, but 296 00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:49,080 There it is, all right, we got 16 people awesome hello to the 16 people you rock 297 00:20:49,980 --> 00:20:55,220 Firefly 3 is so you get the dashboard here and it just wanted their demos and euros 298 00:20:56,340 --> 00:20:59,200 That's fine. Who cares what the yacht? 299 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,939 Denominator or not denominator the unit of measurement is 300 00:21:06,020 --> 00:21:08,180 So you can see here, this is my checking account. 301 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,740 These are all the latest transactions that I had in my checking account. 302 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,480 I also have this dashboard here showing me. 303 00:21:15,340 --> 00:21:18,440 Okay, here's my checking account balance and my savings account balance. 304 00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:19,640 So the green one is savings. 305 00:21:20,340 --> 00:21:21,080 The blue is checking. 306 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000 You always want checking going down, right? 307 00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:25,440 And your savings going up. 308 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:26,380 That'd be awesome. 309 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,820 You don't always want checking going down. 310 00:21:27,860 --> 00:21:29,380 But throughout the month, checking will decrease. 311 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,400 And then as revenue comes in on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly basis, 312 00:21:34,780 --> 00:21:41,980 However, you have your income, whether you get paid by an employer or you have your own revenue coming in. 313 00:21:43,260 --> 00:21:43,820 I'll show you that. 314 00:21:44,510 --> 00:21:45,740 You get your budget categories here. 315 00:21:46,010 --> 00:21:52,720 So here they've set up budgets for groceries, their car payment, maybe what they spend on fuel as well for the car. 316 00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:55,580 And then this is them eating out. 317 00:21:56,170 --> 00:21:57,160 So you can see what you're doing. 318 00:21:57,830 --> 00:22:02,720 And this shows you here they have, they put how much into the budget here? 319 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:03,880 Like $300. 320 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:11,280 for eating out and they have spent or we is supposed to be us we've spent $88 I'm saying 321 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:18,480 dollars even though it's still not in euros $88 and uh two and eleven are left so still have a 322 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:23,860 decent amount of money to spend in that budget going out to eat okay here are different categories 323 00:22:24,090 --> 00:22:29,520 where you can look at expense categories so this is different from budget budget is I am going to 324 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,860 limit how much I want to spend on this thing, right? Whereas categories are just showing you, 325 00:22:35,390 --> 00:22:38,960 well, here are all the different places where you spend money. So you can wrap multiple categories 326 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:47,080 up into a budget item if you want to. And then you have expense accounts. These are even, you 327 00:22:47,210 --> 00:22:50,220 know, these are more different than categories because you can have multiple expense accounts. 328 00:22:50,330 --> 00:22:56,020 So if you do, you know, if you get coffee at two different coffee shops, you might set those up as 329 00:22:56,020 --> 00:22:59,560 different expense accounts, but then you have them going into one category of coffee jobs. 330 00:23:00,860 --> 00:23:06,500 And then you have your income. So this person gets revenue from Google, probably from ad revenue. 331 00:23:08,620 --> 00:23:12,160 Local bank. I don't know what that means, but they got money from their bank. Maybe that's 332 00:23:12,260 --> 00:23:15,400 interest or something. And then JobGiver Inc. I don't know what the heck these are, 333 00:23:15,620 --> 00:23:18,960 but these are your incomes. So replace these with the incomes that you would have. 334 00:23:20,580 --> 00:23:26,000 Okay. There's a net worth tracker in here. This is cool. And this is what I really like about my 335 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:32,380 budgeting tool that I use is that I can track any other asset accounts that I have. And so not only 336 00:23:32,410 --> 00:23:39,140 am I looking at my month-to-month finances and maybe the short-term savings that I'm doing toward, 337 00:23:39,490 --> 00:23:44,080 you know, a car or something like that, but I can also see the big picture, which is my net worth. 338 00:23:44,590 --> 00:23:55,980 And it's really important to see the big picture because you need to know where you're headed. You 339 00:23:55,980 --> 00:23:58,320 or some harder months, some more lean months. 340 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,740 And that's what your net worth can really give you. 341 00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:02,940 So I'm glad that they have that there. 342 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,400 Okay, so let's go look at some of these things here. 343 00:24:05,780 --> 00:24:06,100 Budgets. 344 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,280 This is where you set up your budgets, right? 345 00:24:09,460 --> 00:24:10,280 So I can create a new one. 346 00:24:10,420 --> 00:24:11,140 They have one for groceries. 347 00:24:11,540 --> 00:24:13,040 They have their bills that they pay every month, 348 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,780 their car budget, and then going out to eat, right? 349 00:24:17,980 --> 00:24:20,500 So let's say I wanted to set up a new budget 350 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,520 for streaming services 351 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,160 because we all know we have way too many of those. 352 00:24:29,380 --> 00:24:29,860 Okay. 353 00:24:31,540 --> 00:24:32,120 Store new budget. 354 00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:37,540 Okay, and then I'm going to budget, 355 00:24:39,260 --> 00:24:41,780 I don't know, let's do 50 bucks 356 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,440 to our streaming service budget. 357 00:24:44,860 --> 00:24:46,740 Okay, so now that's in there. 358 00:24:49,420 --> 00:24:50,340 $50 right there. 359 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:58,320 subscriptions. These are, how are these different than the budget? 360 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,440 Oh, these are, these are like recurring payments. That's right. Okay. I remember now. 361 00:25:04,140 --> 00:25:07,640 Different terminologies and different tools. These are recurring payments that you have. So you can 362 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:13,840 say, um, oh yeah, actually the demo remembered me when I was using this earlier. So I set up one 363 00:25:14,060 --> 00:25:20,940 for Netflix to say, Hey, when, um, when you see something called Netflix come in from my bank 364 00:25:20,940 --> 00:25:24,220 import that I do for my credit card statement or my checking statement, whatever it is, 365 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:30,460 look for something called Netflix and you can set ranges on here. So I said, we all know that 366 00:25:30,540 --> 00:25:36,540 Netflix is constantly upping their prices, right? So I can come in here and say, look for anything 367 00:25:36,940 --> 00:25:45,759 between $10 and $20. Again, ignore the euros, $10 and $20. And so that's what it will use to find 368 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,020 and automatically tag my Netflix payment and expense. 369 00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:50,280 Okay? 370 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,500 So then, like, can I put a budget on this? 371 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:55,440 Let's see. 372 00:25:56,940 --> 00:26:04,420 Let's go back to budget here and see how do I add stuff to my budget 373 00:26:04,460 --> 00:26:05,880 that automatically filled up now. 374 00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:08,980 Transactions. 375 00:26:09,580 --> 00:26:11,820 There's not enough information to generate this chart, 376 00:26:11,940 --> 00:26:14,120 so I'm not in editing mode for this budget right now. 377 00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:15,080 Let's go back. 378 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:22,020 so I'm here with the pencil icon the universal icon for edit so funny how we 379 00:26:22,020 --> 00:26:22,440 do these things 380 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:36,180 okay well you get the idea I don't need to dive into this there's some learning 381 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,760 to do here but there's a way to connect expenses into your budget category and 382 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,019 have it automatically do it piggy banks I mentioned these earlier these are ways 383 00:26:44,020 --> 00:26:49,120 for you to have a goal in the future that you're shooting for.

And I'm sorry this is really small and you can't see it on the stream, 387 00:27:03,460 --> 00:27:09,500 but we're more just talking concepts here, right? Okay, the transactions part of 388 00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:15,100 this is like the main part of any financial tool and accounting tool is 389 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,220 importing your transactions you can create a new transaction on your own 390 00:27:18,900 --> 00:27:23,520 right create new transaction and gives you all of the basic stuff that you 391 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:30,400 would need okay or you can import them you can use the data import tool and 392 00:27:30,500 --> 00:27:33,640 then you can see all the transactions here you can take actions on them edit 393 00:27:33,740 --> 00:27:37,380 delete copy all that stuff you can see the source comes from this game these 394 00:27:37,380 --> 00:27:42,400 all came from a checking account you can do credit cards really any account you want but 395 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,300 then you can also see categories right here so it's like a mini dashboard within your expenses 396 00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:51,640 you also have your revenue and income super important to see the money coming in and where 397 00:27:51,740 --> 00:27:59,860 it's coming from and then this lets you transfer money between accounts within the tool automation 398 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:05,940 these are the rules so this is where you can set up more rules to help figure out and tag things 399 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,880 Oh, they have reoccurring transactions here. 400 00:28:09,210 --> 00:28:11,200 All right, well, shoot. 401 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,700 Earlier I said subscriptions are reoccurring transactions. 402 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,520 We'll have to figure out what the difference is there. 403 00:28:16,700 --> 00:28:17,460 You'll have to figure that out yourself. 404 00:28:18,220 --> 00:28:19,340 They have webhooks. 405 00:28:19,710 --> 00:28:20,360 It says it's disabled. 406 00:28:22,460 --> 00:28:23,440 And it's taking me back. 407 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,160 So I probably have to go into the config and enable webhooks. 408 00:28:26,220 --> 00:28:27,440 But that's another powerful thing. 409 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,420 So couple the API with webhooks, 410 00:28:29,810 --> 00:28:32,980 and you can start to do some really smart things here with this tool. 411 00:28:34,420 --> 00:28:35,820 Okay, we're running low on time. 412 00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:42,360 here today so let me just quickly show a high level you have your basic asset 413 00:28:42,820 --> 00:28:45,920 accounts that you can do this helps you when setting up not only your monthly 414 00:28:45,980 --> 00:28:49,660 spending but also that net worth stuff so this is where you start dumping in any 415 00:28:49,670 --> 00:28:55,120 long-term assets you hold you know Bitcoin stocks if you have a 401k an IRA 416 00:28:55,260 --> 00:28:59,560 account like retirement account if you own a home you can put the equity in 417 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,920 your home that you have here and then you have liabilities where if you also 418 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,180 to own a home, you would put your mortgage in here.

You can follow me on X Twitter, marks underscore 506 00:34:16,220 --> 00:34:22,399 FTW, and then I'm on Noster, marks at primal.net. But yeah, check it out. And then if you have 507 00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:26,519 ideas for a tool that you want us to explore next week or in a future week, drop me a note 508 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:31,080 in socials and let me know what you think. Oh, the last place is available. I make this available 509 00:34:31,220 --> 00:34:35,960 on audio as well. So it's a podcast. You can go to podcastindex.org, search for Freedom Tech. 510 00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:40,679 We'll pop up there, look for Freedom Tech Weekend, add it to your podcasting app or 511 00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:46,600 fully podcasting 2.0 supported. So you can stream SAP, you know, boost and SAP, do all that fun 512 00:34:46,860 --> 00:34:53,159 stuff. So thanks everybody. Hope you have a great weekend. Play around with Firefly 3. All right. 513 00:34:53,740 --> 00:34:53,840 Later. 514 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:53,980 Thank you.
