The Budget is the Great Communicator, No? (Whiteboard Wednesday)

I shot this one on the same day that I shot the original Whiteboard Wednesday, so all the progress I made with lighting, markers, and the camera..aren’t here.

But the message still gets across!

I didn’t have time to shoot a new one today because of all the stuff I’m doing for the upcoming tax course (enrollment ends Friday at midnight — it’s free).

What we cover:

- A too-common situation between spouses where, even with good intent, things go awry
- How the budget comes to the rescue

This is a particularly good video to share if you know someone that has maybe run into these issues! (Sharing with high doses of tact — obviously).

Dashboard Usefulness (and Craziness) – Whiteboard Wednesday

Today’s Whiteboard Wednesday is an extension from another we did a few weeks ago on Simplicity.

I go over the usefulness of dashboards, and the danger in making them completely useless by providing yourself with information that 1) doesn’t change often and 2) isn’t relevant to any decision you’re currently making. (And the beanie’s back).

Please help us spread the word by sharing the video via the links below!

Bliss vs. Stress. YNAB & Your Cash Flow (Whiteboard Wednesday)

Here’s the latest Whiteboard Wednesday. What we discuss:

- A “normal” person’s cash flow situation.
- The “dip” (not Seth Godin’s).
- A YNABer’s cash flow situation operating with a Buffer
- How Rainy Day Funds move the YNABer even close to a state of cash flow bliss.

As requested, I went with a YNAB t-shirt. If you’d like to purchase one so you can be the center of virtually any social scene, you can do that here.

On/Off Budget Accounts (Whiteboard Wednesday!)

Hello good YNABers!

I’m pleased to announce the first installment of Whiteboard Wednesday. Today we talk about On/Off Budget Accounts. Forgive the beanie. My hair is atrociously long (by my standard), but I can’t cut it until I reach a goal that I set in October.

Enjoy..
