Description

YNAB is a powerful, flexible piece of software, but there is a learning curve. In today's episode, Ben and Ernie teach you how to setup a YNAB spending plan from scratch, and the essential features you need to know. If you've been sitting on the fence, wanting to jump in, this is the perfect time to get started!

 

And remember, as Ernie says, you don't have to be perfect! The beauty of YNAB is you can easily change your plan anytime you want, as new circumstances come up in life and as you gain more insight into what you want your money to do for you.

 

Note this episode relies heavily on screenshots of the software, so we highly recommend you check out this episode on YouTube too! You can follow along with Ben and Ernie and setup your plan quickly and easily.
