I’m sure this is certainly meant for ABK games.
You just earned yourself a spot on my homescreen!
Honestly I try to categorize on the spot but reconcile at minimum once a week but often more if I have a moment to catch up
Unique problems demand fucking awesome and badass solutions. I love the result and always look forward to Zandvoort
New character seems fun! Can’t wait to play
I’ve just been using the overfunded view which has been nice but I need to flex the muscles of this new feature more.
Hey I’m so sorry I’ve been a bit negligent of attending to the community needs as I’ve had a family situation to attend to.
What I will make clear is that you should only budget money you have IN HAND, and never budget money you’re owed and do not have. If you want to use YNAB to track the debt, I personally have a tracking account for money owed to me and make transfers into the category I paid it out of when the money is paid back. I utilize the memos here extensively to explain why the debt was incurred and so on and so forth.
The problem with keeping it in budget is that you shouldn’t have anything in your budget with a negative balance. Otherwise you can’t trust your budget. YNAB will yell at you if you do this. The money needs to be squared away somehow which is why I’m suggesting you use a tracking account.
Of course you don’t need YNAB and can just track it externally and then treat the debt payments received as income into your accounts on budget.
All of this being said, please don’t take on such a massive debt for a friend in the future. It’s a huge liability and can ruin friendships. I can see you’ve handled it appropriately but I can only hope it didn’t get messier than what you’ve already described.
If you’re taking feature requests. It would be nice to be able to export the Reciept as an image so I can keep it in my Dropbox
Duuuude this is awesome. I’ve had a google sheet to do this but now I think I gotta use this!
There’s mutant football but that’s more like NFL Blitz. I still enjoy it with friends.
Yeah just to update you on that comment. I started playing Super Luigi U and I’ve been very humbled. I’ve been playing Toadette because this shit is hard. Like really hard.
Currently playing 2 games right now. Absolutely loving them both.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Easily one of the best games I’ve ever played. I’ve avoided finishing the story to draw out the thematic end to the game (I know you can keep playing afterwards but I want the story ending to be my ending, it’s like saving your last bite of food to be something particular). Currently exploring, I absolutely love exploring in this game. I can’t get enough, even after hundreds of hours in BotW, I’m never gonna be sick of exploring this hyrule map. There are STILL surprises everywhere that makes it feel so very new.

Bayonetta 3 This shit goes so hard. I mean what the fuck. I never played 1 and 2 but the amount of creative freedom in each fight, combined with the challenge, the style oozing out of the seams of the game. The core gameplay is so tight and excellent BUT THEN YOU GOT FUCKIN KAIJU BATTLES OVER TOKYO AND THEN SUDDENTLY ITS A 2D STEALTH GAME, AND THEN IT’S A CEL SHADED PUZZLE GAME. AND THEN YOU’RE A FUCKING CHOO CHOO TRAIN. I can’t get enough.
15 year club here. Deleted and never looked back.
I know I’m late to the party but I actually beat New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe this weekend! I actually also found certain parts to be challenging but every time I tried to google for guides I found community after community talking about how absurdly easy it was. It was kind of surreal so I just wanted to validate your feelings about the challenge.
That being said, when I went back to replay older levels…..it was way way way WAY easier and I found that I have progressed over the course of the game to have become pretty competent. The game’s difficulty curve trains you pretty well.
I definitely have seen this trend around tiktok, reddit and YouTube. I haven’t tried it but I feel like if I tried it I would just postpone my nonessential expenses and then go back to my normal mode of operating.
….wait is it really that easy? Can I do it on mobile too?
Yep same here. I probably should export but don’t. I just wish that someone had some magical way to convert the Apple Card Mint integration into YNAB. But that’s too many hoops and too many APIs to go through.
I mean it’s always good to have everything on the budget just so you don’t have “secret” money you’re dealing with. But yeah no lie it really is a pain sometimes.
I love the monthly note! I use it to provide context to why something might be “unusual” even though every month is “unusual” in a unique way. Like a renovation, or a major true expense had to be paid out.
You can literally graph the total supply of money and see how much money was added into the economy in a short period of time.

It was the correct decision to avoid immediate economic catastrophe and I very much support it but it doesn’t mean you can just deny the consequences of that decision. Don’t be a moron.
Sorry for the delay! I meant to post yesterday.
Today’s Question: How often do you reconcile your transactions? Bonus question: Do you primarily rely on sync or do you manually input your transactions?
Hello everyone, I'm so happy to see this community grow. I'd like to always make sure there is some thread where community input can be gathered so that we can allow our little corner of Lemmy to flourish.
What would you guys like to see in the subreddit community What are your hopes and expectations for a YNAB community?
Some ideas I'd be personally interested in exploring:
- General personal finance overall (with relation to YNAB)
- Money diary posts (I always loved the money diary community on reddit and wished there was a YNAB version of it)
- Weekly community questions
- Onboarding guide
- Reaching out to the YNAB team to setup an AMA (moonshot idea)
It would also be nice to setup some community 'goals' or 'mission' just so that we can show our community's direct intent.
Some Ideas for Community Missions/Goals:
- Advocation for healthy relationship to personal finance
- Increase and promote community knowledge of the YNAB tool
- Camaraderie in helping our fellow budgers roll with the punches
I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's feedback!
EDIT: Changed subreddit to community
Round 2: How long have you been using YNAB for?
Bonus questions: was it your first budgeting app?
Do you also use a spreadsheet?
I’ve been finding it so incredibly annoying to sync my transactions when life gets busy. Especially reoccurring transactions with variable balances. How do you guys manage? Do you use the export/import tool ever?
I figure I’ll do something like this every so often.
What has been a category you created that really became useful to you or provided unexpected value?
[Meta] Share Your Categories! Fortnightly thread for this week!
Monthly Categories Thread!
Please use this thread every other week to discuss and receive critique on your YNAB categories! You can reply as a top-level comment with a screenshot or a bulleted list of your categories. If you choose a bulleted list, you can use nesting as follows (where ↵ is Enter, and ░ is a space):
- Parent 1↵ ░░░░* Child 1.1↵ ░░░░* Child 1.2↵
- Parent 2↵ ░░░░* Child 2.1↵ ░░░░* Child 2.2↵
UPDATE: Per the meta community discussion someone recommended this thread be monthly instead of every two weeks. I’ve edited the title and will pin this post.
I’ve been using YNAB for a while and already miss the reddit community. I’m hoping to at least build a small community here of people answering questions, sharing categories, and communicating news. I’ll do my best and keep this community running!
