Give every dollar a job
I have been using YNAB for almost 10 years. The biggest difference compared to how I did budgeting before is their Rule 1 - "Give every dollar a job", i.e. focus on the money I have right now. Instead of trying to estimate future income.

Holiday Budget Helped by Targets
I realized that I needed to create a new budget heading into the holiday season, so I wouldn't over-spend. I used YNAB because of its Target Types function, which lets me set-up goals based on whether I need money for spending, maintaining a monthly savings balance, or building savings continuously. These nuanced features are helpful when creating goals.
