Hey all!
Based on comments received, I decided to give everyone a glimpse into how we evaluate potential features for YNAB. It’s nothing formal really, but I wanted to share where we’re coming from :)
Today I discuss how you can rid yourself of the inefficiencies that come about when you have multiple physical savings accounts — just use YNAB for exactly what it was built.
Oh, and make sure you watch the whole video.
For kicks, I put together this “evolution of YNAB” video in lieu of the normal (unbelievably dry!) Whiteboard Wednesdays that I normally put together :)
Hey everyone, we’re going to postpone this Whiteboard Wednesday until next Wednesday. Are we canceling it? No — of course not.
Taylor’s in town for our annual (sometimes semi-annual) meetup to work instead of doing well, things like Whiteboard Wednesdays.
We discuss both budgeting and data entry, and how different activities land on a y-axis of awareness (we want more awareness, keeping mind diminishing returns obviously).
Today we’ll cover how to manage small/freelance/side business right within your YNAB personal budget. That’s right, all in the same budget. What I demonstrate certainly isn’t the only way to do this, but it’s one that will work. Enjoy!
Oh, if you have any ideas for topics of future Whiteboard Wednesdays, please drop me a comment below!
Today we discuss a simple equation to help you balance your on-budget accounts with your budget. It’s a simple formula, but a real life-saver!
If you’re interested in a more in-depth explanation that will be explained much better than I ever could, you should consider taking the free, live special-topics class we have on balancing your budget and accounts. The class schedule can be found here.
Hey everyone,
Whiteboard Wednesday won’t be recorded (and posted) until tomorrow. I’m holding down the fort (barely) while Julie recovers from a bug that’s infiltrated the household. Based on prior experience with three of the four kids, she should be better in about 14 hours.
Hey everyone! In today’s Whiteboard Wednesday we discuss how you can handle paychecks: Net or Gross.
I personally prefer the net method because it means there’s less work. One caveat: if you want to be able to prepare some type of tax report directly from YNAB, you may want to use the gross method. However, that same data that you’re providing can be found on your W2 at year-end…it sounds like a wash.
Today we talk about handling reimbursements gracefully–from both the Register and Budget side of things. Also, I am now using a sweet lavaliere, so audio is much improved!
