Finally Buffered!

Postby wudnit » Tue Mar 02, 2010 6:30 pm

I started YNAB at the end of October. Over the next few months we experienced a lull in DH's paychecks. It was rough. However, here we are 4 months later and we are buffered. I will deposit his 2nd February paycheck tomorrow (I realize it is already March, but we got the February check late due to our son being sick and my husband being home with him) and then the March checks will go to cover April!! It feels wonderful to be free from living Paycheck to Paycheck!! I highly recommend YNAB to all my friends!!!

I'm thrilled to be submitting my own success stories. I have been so inspired by others!!

YNAB ROCKS!!!

Great how one post not only celebrated having the buffer, but illustrated why having a buffer is a good, good thing (late paycheck.) Congratulations!

Great work and congrats! Rule one makes life so much less stressful. Well, Rule 1 at least gives you 30 days to figure a way out of a looming hiccup.

congrats! Having a buffer is really nice and makes such a difference. More than I ever realized it would before we had one.
