Hi all,

After years of debt and being on and off these pages I really do need help. Im absolutely serious about kicking this problem once and for all! I signed up to YNAB but Im totally flabbergasted! Is there an alternative in uk version?

Flabbergasted at what? I use YNAB and it has transformed my money management habits.

Hi January,

I find it incredibly difficult to use tbh! I dont like the site or page layout, the $ and it isnt easy to navigate.

I use it too - if you're using the web based version you can change the currency using "Budget Settings" from the menu in the top lefthand corner of the screen. It does take a bit of mental adjustment to use it but once it clicks it's really straightforward.

Thank you! I was looking around but couldnt see anyway to change it :-)

You could try the old version of YNAB, I have this and have tried the new web based one and hate it. Go to their website and somewhere it says older versions. Maybe you'll manage better.

Also check out their resources like videos and tutorials. Don't focus too much on using it how they say you should, as many people just make it up as they go and are very happy.

I use the old version as well. I did briefly try the web based version but was 'stuck in my ways' with YNAB4

Iv now changed the currency and downloaded the app which I find much easier than desktop. I just need to get used to inputting everything etc.. ☺

Another old YNAB user here.
It's amazing how it changes your mindset.

Do you recommend using it daily or weekly?
