Easy to use

Easy to use. I love that it imports my transactions and links to my external accounts. It has made budgeting so much easier. I know how much money is available right at my fingertips on my phone.

I recommend it to everyone I know if I talk to them about money

It took me a few months of simply categorizing my spending before I really utilized the budgeting aspect. But now I rely on YNAB for understanding my financial condition. I know exactly where I've allocated money, and it's allowed me to have a deep understanding of my money and my upcoming spending.

One year in, and no regrets.

I’ve been budgeting with YNAB for a little over a year. I started at what seemed like the dumbest time to start budgeting; when my wife and I both lost our jobs at the same time. We had a small chunk of credit card debt due to the fact that I’d been budgeting by feel. When I made the decision to try YNAB, I was expecting it to feel like a huge pill.

Just being able to watch my money…

Just being able to watch my money spending and keeping within my means and budget. My issues with YNAB is they dont listen to the Toolkit for YNAB community to merge some of the great settings that the toolkit has. I dont feel the developers truly listen to us.

Budget with Confidence

YNAB is a useful tool to build your confidence with your finances! I feel a lot of budgeting tools out there don't provide a long term picture for short term, long term expenses, and goals. YNAB makes it very easy to bucket your money into different categories giving you the confidence needed to control your money! This app and desktop versions are definitely with the price!
