Jack Silk

Support Specialist

Jack brings his British perspective as a regular contributor to our blog, where he offers natural enthusiasm for making financial topics feel kinder and more uplifting. Underpinning his work is a firm belief that we’re all doing our best with the knowledge we’ve been given (in money and in life).

Since joining YNAB’s Support team in 2020, Jack has helped countless YNABers to move forward with confidence. He loves connecting with YNABers to reach an “aha” moment, and thinks that everyone deserves to let go of past mistakes to find their guilt-free financial footing.

Beyond the realm of financial cheerleading, Jack lives with his partner and their mismatched dogs: one hefty labrador and one miniature dachshund. Based on England’s characterful south coast, he enjoys pursuing wellness in all its many forms. Some mornings, he leaps out of bed for a run along the seafront, embracing the day (and dodging seagulls). Other days, he remains cosy indoors, accompanied by a steaming oat latte and a gripping novel.
