    • https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jBWg9ukqr-Ne35BUTzjvanCgy5pKScwUdf65Ov7azSc/edit#gid=265012713&fvid=1015579541
    • There a many, some free and some paid.
    • I don’t need budgeting. Just account aggregation + net worth.
    • Autolinking is required. Credit score is useful, but not required – I can always go back to CK for that.
    • Gonna try Empower for a few months, all said.
    • Created a list of all accounts in gdrive for backup.
  • Empower.
    • Linked all accounts.
    • Got mobile app. All set up.
    • Empower uses envestnet and yodlee to connect to accounts.
    • Shareworks was down for maintenance, but addition to empower was seamless when it was restored.
    • Only account addition hiccup was citi. Failed through desktop. Worked through mobile.
    • For crypto, you can enter specific holdings and it will autoupdate values. Won’t link to metamask or coinbase or anything. Most of the names are only the bigger ones on eth. So not worth it – I just put total value.
    • Good overall interface. Separation of retirement. Solid account list. Perf comparison to primary ETFs.
  • Some lender analysis (big banks) and REBNY.
  • Supercontest.
    • VPC endpoints are not cheap.
    • $0.011/hr in us-west-1, per endpoint.
    • I had an endpoint in us-west-1a and us-west-1c for my SAM stack. Deleted.
