About YNAB

Where does your money go? Frustrated you aren’t getting ahead? Entirely unsure about your future? You’re asking the right questions but the world has taught you to think about money all wrong. You aren’t broke, but your money mindset is. It’s time to change your relationship with money and enjoy your spending.

Don’t settle for a life of constantly second-guessing your spending decisions, your progress, and your future—trapped somewhere between defeated, embarrassed, and overwhelmed. There is another way.

You need a set of habits to change your mindset and your behavior, until you are spending purposefully, saving aspirationally, and even giving generously.

YNAB has taught millions of people a set of habits to change their relationship with money for good. As these habits become second nature, you’ll stop fighting about money, make better decisions, and sleep better at night. Confident, secure — are you ready to feel this way about your money (and so much more)?
