Your life will never be the same.

Don’t take six months to get there. Don’t do it halfway. Don’t waste time.

Sell every gadget. Sacrifice every luxury. Work every minute. Eat in.

If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run…

This isn’t pie-in-the-sky talk: I promise it will change your life.

Oh my.

YNAB Pro on Amazon has received many, many favorable reviews (thanks to everyone that’s written one!). However, apparently, too many positive reviews are a bad thing. From one reviewer:

Don’t be mislead by the lengthy positive reviews for this product, they appear to be fake.

Ouch!

One commenter further solidified this rock-solid assumption:

Awefully suspicious how there are so many five star reviews on this product. I don’t think I’ve ever seen another product on Amazon (esp software) rated so high. Thanks for this post; this makes me nervous and I am steering clear of this product.

Alas. I suppose too many positives do make a negative… if you’d like to leave a review, be my guest. But please make it real ;)

I received a fantastic email from Sharon, a great mom (wow, upside down, right?) that managed to get her 18-year old son to start budgeting. Notice how she didn’t demand the world of him…just let the budget show him what could happen…

Our 18 year old son has a full-time job. I told him he needed to learn to budget his money so he could start saving to purchase a home. He wanted noting to do with budgeting. I think the word “budget” scared him. He told me I could be his personal money manager. I was using YNAB to budet his money for him. Well one payday I was not home and he wanted his money budgeted right then and there. I talked him through YNAB over the telephone and since then he has been doing YNAB on his own. He learned how easy it was to give every dollar a job.

Before we had him start using YNAB his checkbook balance would always be around $10. Now that he uses YNAB, his balance is always over $700. I am glad I found YNAB, thank you for such a great program.

Updated: Sharon has her own business up and running, which you may want to check out as well.

Just taking a few minutes to toot the YNAB horn a bit. How cool is this? YNAB Pro is the #1 Bestseller in the ‘Money Management’ category on Amazon — beating out both Quicken and Microsoft Money!

Also, notice the average user rating — 4.5 stars with 70 reviews! Thanks to everyone that’s left a review! (Feel free to leave your own 5-star review if you haven’t yet.. :) You don’t need to have bought the software through Amazon in order to write a review.)
