You and I sound very familiar! I also have plans for personal dashboards using redash for everything from weather to a shared calendar. Also plan on putting it in a display in a Magic Mirror for aesthetics... but who has the time!
Couple questions, if you don't mind taking the time:
1) What makes you want to use Redash, instead of a spreadsheet?
2) If you had a service that (securely) sync'd data into your spreadsheet, would that provide all of the value of Redashing it?
I'm confused as to why you loved it, if it added no value. Do you mean that you emotionally loved using it, but on an actual examination, realized it didn't help you manage your money?
my experience: I felt like I was a Responsible Adult when I used it, but didn't actually budget any better.
I'm super interested in this solution, can you expand a bit on your motivations and help me better understand the problem?
I see a lot of times, people export to Excel to do their own analysis. I think there is something about doing it "my way" that helps me connect with the data, whether it's budgeting or (my current project) fantasy sports.
Specifically, what value do you get from exporting and creating your own graphs? How much time do you spend / how frustrating is it to have to export and build the graphs?
