been thinking about this while shipping Portfolio — a lot of people keep “investable money” and “life stuff” in two mental buckets. i don’t. car, rental, cards, brokerage… it’s all the same net worth number to me, otherwise the picture is fake.
curious how other makers draw that line — do you mix big life assets into the same total, or keep them out on purpose?
There’s a quiet line in money products between “show me my picture” and “tell me what to do.” We’ve been pretty stubborn about staying on the clarity side. Wrote about how we think about the tool stack here: https://www.portfoliogrow.com/po... — where do you draw that line in your product copy?
Still early in the day but curious what you all actually track outside the usual brokerage stuff. Cards, watches, sneakers, cars… what’s the one asset that never shows up cleanly in your net worth apps?
Honest question for makers building (or using) money tools:
Before we shipped Portfolio I was still updating a Google Sheet every Sunday night. Connected apps were great for banks and cards, but anything slightly weird (a car, crypto on three exchanges, a side hustle checking account) fell out of sync and I'd end up trusting the spreadsheet more than the "smart" dashboard.
Curious how other people actually keep their number honest. Are you still on a sheet, fully automated, or some messy hybrid in between?
Quick maker question that's been stuck in my head since launch week.
Most personal finance apps I used in college were really spend trackers. Cash in, cash out. Fine. But the second your money stops living in one checking account — crypto here, brokerage there, a car, some physical stuff that doesn't have an API — the "net worth" number starts feeling fake.
We've been building around that messy middle with Portfolio, and I'm still not sure where the line should be. Do you count something as an asset in your own tools only when it syncs automatically, or do you force the awkward manual entries too?
How are you handling stuff that will never have a clean bank connection?
