YNAB/ Budget software query

BlueTalonUK

New YNAB Costs $50 / year or $5 / month.

If, like me you were a user of the old YNAB (YNAB4) then you get a $5 discount / year (So I got it for $45).

So for a measly £32 a year you get software that will save you loads of money.

By following the 4x rules I have managed to
* Stop living pay check to paycheck, by living on last months income.
* Pay off all my credit and store cards (approx £4500).
* Start saving for the first time. Building a 6 month buffer.

YES I'M A YNAB FAN - but the method works

Oh my!!! Wow. I'm impressed.

With it being a new month, I'll try the free trial. Watch this space.

What am I doing wrong? I have tried to give it a go based on what people here have said about it but can't seem to get the hang of it.:mad:

It can take a bit of getting used to. I recommend you go on to the YNAB site and check out the videos/web seminars and tutorials as a starting point. Once you've spent half an hour playing around with it, it's dead easy to use.

Watch the videos, do the webinars, it relly is worth it.

I've signed up to a webinar on Sunday. No idea how this works

I must admit it took me a few tries to get it. BUT keep at it - IT IS WORTH IT

A few things to remember.
1) When adding an account, make sure you use the correct "type".i.e. Credit Cards MUST be added as a credit card for YNAB to work properly.
2) Remember budget down to EXACTLY zero every time you receive funds. NEVER go negative.

Either do the Webinars or view them on youtube

Then read the Manuals

Last night I joined in on the getting started webinar for YNAB and I know feel a lot more relaxed and confident about it all. Highly recommend the webinar to help get to grips with it all.
