About the Software
The World's Best Budgeting Program.
Praised across the Internet as hands-down the "best budgeting software", You Need A Budget (YNAB) cuts to the chase with your finances. The software focuses you on the foundation of your finances: the Budget. Experience has shown that when your budget is intact, and functioning correctly, everything else takes care of itself (the bills are paid on time, retirement contributions are made, and unnecessary debt is eliminated).
The Most Effective Budgeting Method
The software is built around Four Rules of Cash Flow. These Four Rules will help you break the paycheck to paycheck cycle, get out of debt, and save more money. Where other software packages tend to be the products of years of feature creep, YNAB offers you exactly what you need: a simple, straightforward system to manage your money.
- Rule 1: Give every dollar a job.
- Rule 2: Save for a rainy day.
- Rule 3: Roll with the punches.
- Rule 4: Learn to live on last month's income.
Remember to take advantage of YNAB's fantastic support resources: video tutorials, and free live budgeting classes for any and all interested! These are available at our website or via the Help menu in the software.Key Features
