I will preference that not all bills are categorized correctly. However, I still find the feature useful as I can see a complete summary and know where I spend too much of my money on, such as shopping. While I know every credit card has the same spending feature and even do better with categorizing, they don't really compare unless all your spending is on one credit card. Having all three credit cards and my checking account show up in the spending tab gives the fullest look yet at my spending habits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750242021972-V8P7BM5QPM0WKMTEAZE0/02Qu73ohKNRw0rBp6lpVnYP-6.webp TRY HARD BLOG - The Super Popular Rocket Money App: Honest Review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750242019661-7TWKZ5V5A3Z92RMWN80M/Untitled-design-1.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - The Super Popular Rocket Money App: Honest Review - More Gimmick Than Feature Some of the more gimmicky features I find is saving money on utility bills such as Internet and electricity. The electricity saving goes through yet another company and was not available for my specific utility company I have. I also already have the lowest amount on my internet, so they could not save me money on that bill either. I also like to know what I am paying for, and I am not sure if they do negotiate the cost down on the internet, how transparent rocket money is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750242017763-M65HSK6HCWFXHTZUIK6W/Screenshot_20250506_074530_Rocket-Money.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - The Super Popular Rocket Money App: Honest Review - Additional Bonus Features of Rocket Money Looking at the extra bonus features Rocket Money provides is relatively difficult. I have found only one of the additional features rocket money provides to be useful for my needs. I will try however to give my honest opinion of the additional features, but first let us go over the actually useful bonus feature. Some websites make you jump through so many hoops to just to cancel the subscription. So when I found out I can cancel straight through the Rocket Money app I was excited to try it out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750242019061-EIP03X6AGG5Q0023KP3I/My+Subscriptions TRY HARD BLOG - The Super Popular Rocket Money App: Honest Review - How I Budgeted in the Stone Age For my budgeting needs, I used a subscription tracking app called SubX. SubX requires all information to be put in manually, which eliminates a lot of the privacy risk of Rocket Money. Despite SubX being more privacy focused, manually inputting everything in was very time-consuming. Additionally, whenever a bill changed I had to go in and update it. In early revisions of this review I had stated that SubX and Rocket Money are for different people. Due to the two apps being so different in how they complete the budgeting goal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750242018760-03C1NV2R6KK4KWZ9IM36/Screenshot_20250525_182549_Rocket-Money.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - The Super Popular Rocket Money App: Honest Review - The So-So Feature One feature I have mixed feelings about are the email and push updates. While I typically do not enjoy getting push and email updates, I can turn on and off every type and even change parameters to fit my needs. For example, I often do not keep a lot of money in my checking account, and so having alerts when my account falls below 200 is not helpful. However, I can change the threshold to say 100 dollars, which is more helpful to my needs. Since some notifications are helpful and the others can be disabled I am inclined to still say the feature is helpful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750242020766-AEUBG94R3H4RPJ6E21ZI/Untitled-design-3.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - The Super Popular Rocket Money App: Honest Review - What stole the show What makes Rocket Money good enough for me to ignore the privacy risks and subscription cost? First Rocket Money assists in something I have been struggling to manage for a little while now For some reason, I did great balancing two credit cards, but ever since I obtained a third, I have had a difficult time managing them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750242018103-O1JZ6NS8ZQPI6DVFBTI1/Screenshot_20250525_182012_Rocket-Money.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - The Super Popular Rocket Money App: Honest Review - Conclusion I have not compared other budgeting apps, but if this post does well, I could attempt to use other popular budgeting platforms. I do like rocket money as it does what it claims to do. However, I do feel as though the app needs some refinement. I think eliminating the" lower the bill" feature or create a way to do the feature completely in house much like the subscription cancellation feature is. Additionally, If Rocket Money could connect directly with my bank accounts without requiring Plaid I think that would go a long way to bolster the apps privacy. https://www.tryhardblog.com/try-hard-blog/a-deep-dive-into-the-world-of-plumbing-fittings monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750242015507-2YU46W5DM5EHJYFS2Q5Y/Method-One.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - A Deep Dive into the World of Copper Pipe Fittings The photo is my old hot water line, where the person used a dielectric union (I would use the 1/2 inch Sharkbite FIP mentioned below).Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750242017205-LRF3RDQ1GS6KL3GEBARB/method4edit.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - A Deep Dive into the World of Copper Pipe Fittings For a do-it-yourself home repair, the method is not one I would recommend. Working with fire can be extremely dangerous and can leave solder in the water lines if done wrong. The 1/2 copper FIP is $4.00, the copper is $11.00, and the shut-off valve is $15.00. The total cost for solder fittings is $30.00 or $6.00 cheaper than the previously cheapest method. This method is compatible with a dielectric union. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750242017521-YE2ZQAM552Y5X125GIO3/propress.jpeg TRY HARD BLOG - A Deep Dive into the World of Copper Pipe Fittings But the Propress shut-off valve is pricey at $28.00, making this specific repair the same amount as the Sharkbite. For other repairs, the Propress should be the cheaper of the two methods. A disadvantage of the Propress method is the cost of the tool that crimps the fittings. Electric tools cost thousands of dollars, and even a manual operated crimper is over 150 dollars. The tool is worth the price if multiple repairs are needed, but for one simple fix, the 150 dollars is a lot to ask. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750242015807-OSU0PNHI7UUKFM6WADID/Method-Two.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - A Deep Dive into the World of Copper Pipe Fittings - Make it stand out The method I chose was to use a dedicated Sharkbite for hot water tank lines. Method two is more straightforward than the first method because only one fitting was needed versus the two of method one (also no copper pipe was needed). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/eb46f289-2906-4591-aa83-85a2cfe268dc/dielectric-union.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - A Deep Dive into the World of Copper Pipe Fittings - The Dreaded Dielectric Union Topic This is what I mean by Dielectric union mentioned below. https://www.tryhardblog.com/try-hard-blog/poor-planning-made-for-a-subpar-project-shelf-install monthly 0.5 2025-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750241929781-P5QN29KQ5KT30QZ8TG0M/The-Left-Small-Gap-768x1024.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - Poor Planning Made for a Subpar Project: Shelf Install Despite the countersink problem seeming a bit trivial, it does hinder my overall plan.

Yes, it does, however, I need approximately three to four coats to achieve a complete covering of the product. The coverage issue is not a failing on my part either as I have done the necessary prep work of sanding the cabinets and even doing so between coats which I might add does help hide the color. https://www.tryhardblog.com/try-hard-blog/3m-claw-review-and-important-update monthly 0.5 2025-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750241954103-VAV1846XQ2YOH02K41NM/3m-claw-edited-1.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - Super Convenient 3M Claw Tested And A Blog Update - 3M Claws Selling Points The product does leave much easier holes to fill than even a penny nail and provides nearly the same hanging force as a wall anchor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750241954425-59OVHEOC7W832ON72OBC/81i6f2409yl._ac_sl1500_-1.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - Super Convenient 3M Claw Tested And A Blog Update - Story Time For full transparency, I used the 3M Claw product a while ago, so I am doing the review based on memory.

The Last Objectively Bad Thing The CitriStrip bottle states it takes up to 24 hours to work and in my testing with a cabinet door with 3 to 4 layers of paint, it needed the full time to work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750241955560-NB8567NL6HA3970B7CED/betterresults.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - Is It Any Good? Citristrip Paint Stripper Tested. - The Better Part of the Post (Objective Part) I am going to try to be as objective as possible for the rest of the blog to give the CitriStrip the most fair review possible but I felt my overall thoughts would be helpful to start the review with. Before I talk about the object performance of the product I will say that despite its subjective flaws the product works. Although saying a product works seems like a low bar to set one would be surprised as to how many things do not work to strip paint. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750241955806-6JHZVGFOXO1UL7ERZAB6/citruscutter.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - Is It Any Good? Citristrip Paint Stripper Tested. - What is CitriStrip? CitriStrip is a product claimed to remove paint more safely. I had initially rejected using paint strippers due to the harmful chemicals in the products. However, after messing the wood up on a cabinet I decided it was time to purchase something. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750241956403-V1VA844REJ01YKICEJEV/doorwithproduct.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - Is It Any Good? Citristrip Paint Stripper Tested. - My subjective thoughts Flaws which could be subjective is the product makes the paint sticky and glob together which is better and worse for clean up. How the paint flakes off is subjective but not using the product creates a ton of tiny paint chips which is a pain to clean and could cause respiration problems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750241959503-2SGCCR7KG21YGDQ98FUZ/woodnotremoved.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - Is It Any Good?

I personally like the look and functionality of a vanity far more than that of a pedal sink and it came together very lovely. The finished bathroom sink and all the unused plumbing underneath are on the road to making the sink work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750241970908-MKX36OX01VNE1167AG9W/4979040576074788487-edited.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - Part Two Of The Bathroom Project: My Greatest Challenge Yet - The Vanity Was Not the Only Thing Offset The plumbing was offset from the wall to the sink by a 1/8th of an inch which I could have jammed the plumbing together since the PVC was flexible enough but that was not an elegant solution. Instead, I did a sweeping 90 which allowed for the proper fitment. Although this process sounds easy. I have an entire pile of leftover plumbing from trying to get the angles to work correctly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750241970304-MT9WB0AMWR2X7AK5JJ3C/4940670983224798753-edited.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - Part Two Of The Bathroom Project: My Greatest Challenge Yet - The Longest Project Yet The bathroom sink started with going from a pedestal sink to a vanity. Unfortunately, I ran into issues with the drain being rusted out. In the end, I ended up replacing most of my bathroom plumbing with PVC. The new sink is great and the process of doing the plumbing was not bad but rather time-consuming. https://www.tryhardblog.com/try-hard-blog/the-unidentified-sputnik-light-fixture-of-amazon-review monthly 0.5 2025-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68529122ec4b0176ed75a489/1750241970004-5CWE23ARUYTWL7OSDU9Y/20240804_1936396314948506370939806-edited-2.jpg TRY HARD BLOG - The Unidentified Sputnik Light Fixture From Amazon Tested The finished product.
