Yup! I’m a fan and a current customer (have been with them over a decade)… except that it’s kinda expensive now. For people new to it I’d recommend actualbudget instead and just do manual/semi-manual imports.
How is actual these days? Development was rocky in the early days of open source so I left for plaintextaccounting. Based on the discord seems to be waaay more vibrant now.
If we had good bank imports and more flexible/robust reporting, I may go back
I’m a big fan of budget with buckets, which allows you to import via simple fin bridge. One time $50 payment, also unlimited time trial. I used it for about 4 months before paying up.
No thanks. I find it easier to use structureless system where I enforce the rules rather than software to do it for me.
Like I track my expenditures, and I have a rough envelope system set up between my two banks. Each paycheck $1k goes into an account that handles all bills plus savings, with most of them on autopay, and any remainder goes to a different bank and I use that card for whatever I feel like.
All I remember from trying to use YNAB is it somehow concluded I had $50 when I actually had like $150 and there was no way to override it.
I was working as a freelancer at the time and there was no way to answer its “How much is your regular recurring paycheck?”
Heard of YNAB? You need a budget.
Great for envelope budgeting!

YNAB is so fucking confusing
Yes - there are many aspects to it. Got anything you want to jam about? I’d like to give you some responses, if I can. Let’s find the ynab community?

I don’t need something inflexible like that.
