YNAB Questions

[LadyT]

I’m using YNAB on a trial basis and would really like to make it work for me since I have heard so many good things about it. I’ve got another week or so left on my trial, and I still have not completely figured it out! The main question I have is about my savings accounts. My husband and I have a joint checking account and two joint savings accounts at the same bank, and I included all of them when I set up YNAB – should I not have? Is it only supposed to be for our checking account, which we use to pay bills? If I do include all of the accounts in my YNAB, how do I show those accounts in my budget section? Right now I can’t figure out how to NOT include those funds in the amount I have to be budgeted, nor can I figure out the best way to show that we designate funds each month to go from our checking account to our savings accounts.

There is a forum for YNAB. Just google it. I'm sure they can answer specific questions better than anyone here. It is a good program and has helped many people. Best of luck with it!

I can't answer your questions, but I have heard that if you email ynab, they will give you a longer free trial if you ask. They can probably also direct you to their support team. Good luck!
