Krys was sick and tired of her debt. Despite having a traditional budget for ten years, she seemed to be getting further and further behind. But just one year after starting YNAB, her net worth flipped from negative to positive:

  • Month One: Paid off $1,500 of debt
  • Month Two: Saved a $1,000 emergency fund
  • Month Four: Paid off a credit card
  • Month Twelve: Paid off half of all debt

I’m loving the app so far—paying monthly for an app like this seemed crazy before I got settled into it but now I’m not worried about money, have savings, and haven’t had an overdraft in months. I’m absolutely going to keep it going.

YNAB is the best purchase I make every year!!!! There simply isn’t anything else out there that compares to the level of dedication, service, education, community and authenticity that you all represent.

A year of YNAB costs less than a massage and is a heck of a lot better for reducing stress.

Frequently asked questions

On average, new YNABers save $600 in their first two months with YNAB. Oh, and more than $6,000 after one year. Also, they enjoy more control and less stress. In terms of an investment, that’s a serious return.

But you don’t have to take our word for it. Let the numbers speak for themselves.

There’s a saying that if you’re not paying for the product, YOU’RE the product. When it comes to something as private and confidential as your financial data, we want the reins in your hand. We only want to make money from you paying us money, with you fully knowing and understanding what’s going on.

You pay us the monthly or annual subscription price, and there you have it. That’s it. Transaction complete. That’s how we make our money.

Read more about why we don’t (and won’t) sell your data.

We offer all college students a free 365-day trial. If you’re interested, check out our College Program to submit proof of enrollment—think student ID card, transcript or tuition statement (but anything that shows you are currently enrolled and includes your name, your school, and the date will do). We can’t wait to help you manage your money!
