    Most folks do a lot of mental math with their money. They see something they want to buy, they check their bank balance, and start doing some mental math on what other things that balance needs to be able to pay for before they buy the thing. The problem is, mental math gets very sloppy very quickly! Life is often just too complex, with too many variables to be able to hold all your future spending needs in your head at all times. It's too easy to spend the same dollar many times over when you rely on mental math.

    YNAB helps you do money differently. YNAB gives you a simple four step method for identifying all the things your money needs to do for you now, the major things it needs to do for you in the future, and, over time, getting you to start paying next month's bills with today's money so you can finally get ahead.

    Sometimes YNAB'ers talk about money being "boring." That is, working the Four Rules patientily, consistently, until managing your money becomes another daily habit. As Jesse sees it, however, there's nothing boring about working the method. Each time you work the method, and follow the four rules, you learn more about yourself and what you want your money to do for you. And there's nothing boring about you!

    It is generally accepted that the market is driven by demand. What if YNAB was really just a long con to generate demand for quality goods and services... like toasters?

YNAB finally makes budgeting work

Before YNAB, I created budgets on paper, in envelopes, on spreadsheets, and in 2 other apps. I always just spent what I spent. This finally makes sense of my spending and it has allowed me to get almost 4 months ahead and close 6 savings accounts! Jesse's podcasts help me stay motivated and on track.Thanks, Jesse!

Great podcast about all things related to YNAB

I've been using YNAB for 2 years and love. Jessie's podcast discusses talks about a large variety of topics about personal finance, mindset, and personal growth. He interviews a lot of people with different expertise.

Jesse Has Great Content! Love this Podcast!

Listening to this podcast and using the YNAB app has made a huge difference in my finances. I no longer wonder where my money is as I have given "every dollar a job." I can't recommend this Podcast or YNAB services enough to those who want to manage their money.

Weekly short simple talks about money and budgets

I'm a long time YNAB user and podcast listener. I like Jesse's easy going style and willingness to talk about whatever he's got on his mind that week. Some episodes might not directly apply to you, but there's usually some tidbit that makes you think about something a little differently than you did before,

His voice is soothing

I started listening to the podcasts in 2019. I listened from the first episode and slowly got caught up. The thing I like about Jesse Mecham and this podcast is the fact that he’s not yelling. He’s not yelling at me at what a crappy person I am for letting it get this badly and telling me I should have done this or that.

I wish I knew about the podcasts back when I started YNAB 4 (randomly saw it in Steam). The podcast would have helped me a lot because I finally realized I’m not the only one dealing with a ton of debt. The podcasts vary. He will have tips and advice on how to budget, stories that relate to budgeting, people come on the podcast and tell their stories and how they overcame in, random life updates (which I enjoy) and other things.

It’s definitely worth a listen :)
