And why label this as some random drama? It is a modern day phenomena where people can easily fake their persona online for personal gains.

In the UK, you can use one of the challenger banks like Starling or Monzo. They not only show you "pretty graphs", but give you spending notifications and keep track of your direct debits, standing orders etc. So I don't see a reason to do this all manually yourself, which can also be error prone.
