Are you using You Need A Budget?
Spotsaas Editor’s POV
YNAB (You Need A Budget) uses a digital envelope system where you allocate money to specific spending categories before you spend it. This requires upfront discipline—you must categorize every transaction and adjust allocations monthly. If you prefer passive tracking without active budgeting, YNAB will feel restrictive. The app syncs with most US banks and ...Read more

YNAB is a hue part of my life
YNAB is a huge part of my life. The tool has a steep learning curve, but once you figure it out there is nothing currently on the market that is like it.

YNAB has changed my life!!
YNAB has changed my life. Not an exaggeration. I first got it in January of 2023, and now (exactly one year later!), I am more financially secure than I have ever been. I used to live paycheck to paycheck, constantly playing catch up rather than being able to plan ahead. Other budgeting apps never worked for me, but the sheer amount of customization options in YNAB and the foundation of giving every dollar a job changed the game for me. I tell everyone about it, I offer to build budgets for ...

Quite Happy with YNAB
This app really helped me get a clear picture of my finances. Not only has it helped me get a clear picture of what I can save, what I can cut spending on, but also what I can spend money on. I don't know if YNAB is the ultimate tool for everyone, but it was for me.

We love YNAB
We love YNAB! Using a budget and virtual envelopes makes our lives SO easy! It can take some time to get used to budgeting, but once you do it will change your life forever! I only wish we learned how to use it sooner!

Support wants you to also understand the solution.
Support is not live but it's close. I very rarely have to actually contact support because the KB, FAQ, and general How-to are outstanding, with that said when I do, someone is able to respond within 24-48 hrs. and they are always concise and clear with instructions. I love that they are more concerned with solving the problem and me understanding where I went wrong that closing the ticket. They are always happy to answer follow up questions before closing out.
