Is one of your goals getting control of your finances?

A few years ago, we went from a double-income, no kids family to a single-income, growing family.  One of our first steps when we made this change was to get immediate visibility and control over the way we spent our money.

I’m a little nerdy so my answer to a challenge is usually ‘there’s an app for that’.  So, I started
using the ‘You Need a Budget’ software and app.  I converted from Quicken, which I literally populated every April 1st in a desperate, last-minute attempt to figure out our taxes.  I’ve now used YNAB for the past 4 years consistently on a daily and monthly basis.  It has

• Allowed us to set up a simple family budget, that we actually use to guide our spending
• Given us visibility into what we’re spending & if we need to adjust (e.g. cook at home a little more)
• Enabled us to manage emergency/unplanned expenses (super helpful when our roof sprang a leak)
• Provided an easy way to get out data for taxes

Next Steps = Take Action
