The answer is: not necessarily - and definitely not in the case of a liquidation or bankruptcy settlement. What happens when you have a privacy policy that repeatedly assured your customers - or even guaranteed it (in those very words) that their data would never be sold or shared? Many people - and virtually every court - would interpret that as either a contract or an implied contract and therefore enforceable under law. It came up already in several bankruptcy cases, and with a few companies that were selling off their assets in order to not have to declare bankruptcy. Pretty hard to do repeat business in that scenario. After that, it's yours and you don't need anything further from them. And about a month of focused commitment to get in the habit. It takes about a half hour to read through and digest it. Their method is very simple (like any good financial method will be) - and it just works.
YNAB is coming to that realization I think, and desperately trying to figure out what to do. And since the chances of breaking rise exponentially whenever you upgrade, unless there's an absolutely critical reason to bugger with something, you're far better off leaving it alone.
#YNAB 4 DROPBOX SAVE UPGRADE#
Because in the finance word "If it ain't broke, then leave the bloody thing alone!" was the first, last, and only rule when it came to software.Ĭivilians don't seem to realize that there's seldom a good reason to upgrade financial software unless it's broken. If you told the accounting or financial planners of that era that there was going to be upgrades done every year, there would have been an armed revolt and no federally owned bird sanctuary would have been safe. And getting it to that point didn't happen overnight. You could trust what you were being told by the program. But you knew that the numbers that were on the reports the "big iron" generated were as accurate and correct as the raw data that was fed into them. Later with the only spreadsheet worth using at the time, which was Lotus 1-2-3. First with a calculator and greenbar paper. You got a two foot tall stack of "cornrow" computer output once a week that you broke apart and put into into binders - and then you did you work using those. It didn't have much in the way of bells or whistles. And the software I had at my disposal was written in either COBOL or RPG. I worked in corporate accounting for several years. Once they've got it debugged and customized - and it's doing what they want it to do - they leave it strictly alone. As do most major corporations who don't ever do anything willingly when it comes to making changes to their financial software.
