If you are getting married, if your daughter is getting married, if you have a daughter—in all of these scenarios—you need a wedding budget.

Of course, the ads don’t call them payday loans. They mask these loans as something fancy: Factoring, invoice financing, receivables financing, asset-based lending, etc. It’s all the same thing. It’s just like you, as a small business owner, walking down to the nearest payday lender and getting some cash.

We recently took the YNAB team on a retreat. We save for it all year long and when we spend on it, it's guilt free.

Maybe you've gotten out of debt (and it was so much hard work!) only to frustratingly fall right back into it. What gives?

Trying to understand the underlying logic behind credit cards in YNAB? We're going to take a short history lesson back to the 16th century.

You don't want to have your priorities forced on you by past you that ran up a big tab that you are stuck paying in the here and now.

Today I want to talk about a tiny financial principle that can have big ramifications—the do-over. In the new YNAB you can undo and redo pretty much anything. This may not sound like a big deal, but without that option (I'm looking at you, YNAB 3 and 4!) you become painfully aware of its importance.

It's a forced obligation. A forced priority. And you have to do something about it. So, the question is just how intense do you want to be?

January is the antithesis of December. Think about it. December is all about the spending. And January is all about opening that credit card bill. I'm mostly speaking to those of you that maybe weren't following the YNAB way in 2015, or let the holiday spirit get the best of you.

No financial number offers a complete picture of your financial stability or flexibility. Learn what the age of money says about your budget.

A popular question we're getting is around the switch of our business model from a one-time-fee-then-hopefully-buy-upgrades to a subscription model. Here's why! Holding back features is wrong.

We’ve been waiting about 18 months to be able to write that. Every one of the YNAB team members is on pins and needles. Our support team is anxious to help you get to know the new software. Our instructors have a whole set of classes to get you started off right.
