our story
Budgeting? Nah. We help people discover themselves through money.
It all started in 2004 when Jesse Mecham, a broke college student, built a teensy spreadsheet to help his young family make ends meet. Fast forward to today: YNAB is an award-winning app, a WSJ best-selling book, a trusted workplace benefit, and a go-to certification for personal finance coaches.
YNAB’s passionate community isn’t just engaged—they’re all in. They’re so proud of their YNAB wins that they get YNAB tattoos, custom license plates, and even include YNAB in their wedding vows. YNAB’s trusted money experts keep fans inspired and empowered on social media, while delivering refreshingly human support.

FAQ
What is spendfulness?
Spendfulness is the practice of bringing awareness and intention to your money, so your spending reflects your unique values and priorities. The YNAB Method teaches you to give every dollar a job and trade mindless spending for thoughtful spending, effortless saving, and joyful living. When you are living spendfully, decisions become easier, trade-offs more meaningful, and conversations about money more collaborative than combative. Shouldn’t your money work as hard for you as you work to earn it?
What makes YNAB different?
Money management is often seen as a dreaded chore, and YNAB is here to change that. YNAB doesn't just show you where your money went; it helps you tell it where to go—turning money from a problem into a possibility. The YNAB Method is the secret sauce.
