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

Quality Product, Quality Service
The product itself is extremely high quality. It's just very obvious in my life when I'm not religiously using YNAB -- I save far less money, I'm more overwhelmed by unknown expenses, I never find myself "gifts" of unexpected sums of money I forgot I had. But I want to make a note here that the customer service team of YNAB also rocks and really seems to care about the YNAB subscribers. I'm such a big fan of both the functionality of the app and the people who run it

Turned my financial security around!
This system has turned around my financial life forever. The amount of resources from videos to blogs, to the online YNAB community has helped so much in really learning how to make YNAB work for my life. After the learning curve, it becomes really intuitive and something I look forward to each day. I’ve never stuck to a budgeting system for as long as I have with YNAB, and I feel more confident making decisions with my money. The app works seamlessly for day to day use, and the ...

YNAB changed my life
I used to think I should spend my money “before it all got away” which meant I never had any money. Now I put it into categories and know exactly where it is, and feel like it’s all taken care of. I love knowing that I have the important things covered and that I can make plans to do the things that I want to do.
