Now you can choose your most important goal and you’ll see that category every time you open the Home tab. Maybe things are changing and your focus is on preparing for a new baby or a big move. Maybe you’re finally ready to take that dream vacation. Maybe you want to pay off that lingering student loan. Whatever your goal is, now you can keep it front and center in YNAB. You’ve been giving your dollars a job, it’s time to give them a mission!
