Get good at money. Never worry about money again.

YNAB (You Need A Budget) is a personal budgeting app that helps users take control of their finances by assigning every dollar a specific purpose. It provides a guided method and mobile app to help users build savings, reduce debt, and make intentional spending decisions. The platform claims its average user saves $600 in their first month and $6,000 in their first year.
Users assign every dollar they earn a specific job or category, creating a flexible budget that guides spending decisions and helps them build savings over time.
