Enlightenment & Awesome Ninja Money Skills (What’s that in Your Eye?)

I’m working on a page where people will be able to find resources to help us spread the YNAB Word.
Our forums are, what I would call, the friendliest on the World Wide Web (we really need to bring that term phrase back — there’s my effort for the day).
I love the passion that YNAB users [...]

Back to the Good Old Days

I tweeted this yesterday:
re: YNAB 3 (http://tinyurl.com/mnlyxm). This week we went from 2 FT devs to 5. Here’s hoping we maintain a scorching development pace.
A scorching development pace = a scorching burn rate of cash.

Making 2009 Shine. Bite-Sized Goals Taste Better and Go Down Easier.

I absolutely love the new year. I get jazzed about goal-setting (budgeting is, after all, simply goal setting/achieving on an ongoing basis).
Here are some high-level things I want to focus on this year, with my accompanying game plan. In the past (revisit your goals often), I’ve written about goals in general. This [...]

I Vote for Myself.

Since the 2008 race for the White House began…when was that, I think back in ‘83, we’ve heard a lot of talk. We’ve heard a lot of pundits, predictions, predicaments and plumbers.
Yesterday Julie and I dragged the kids down to the credit union, stood in line for an hour, and voted. Harrison, our [...]

Collisions: Rear End or Head On? I Prefer the Former.

We’re seeing a plethora of new services popping up to manage your money. What has me hopeful is that there’s a lot more excitement about this area in general. What has me not so hopeful is that we’re seeing a lot of the same reactive paradigm that plagued the personal finance software arena [...]
