Ramsey is also a big proponent of Rule 1 – giving every dollar a name, and planning ahead for a rainy day.

The four rules of YNAB are right up my alley, and are completely in line with the budgeting strategies taught by Dave Ramsey (Who’s plans we’ve been following for a couple of years now). It also helps those who are in a situation where income is variable, and you never know how much is coming in month to month. That will help to eliminate a lot of stress that people have in trying to time bills and paychecks so that checks don’t become rubber and bounce.

Rule 4: Stop Living Paycheck To Paycheck: The goal of YNAB is to help people get to the point where they’re not living and dying by that “next paycheck”, but instead are able to live on last month’s income.

Adjust your budget, and improve the following month! Dust yourself off when you make a mistake in the budget, and start off with a clean slate every month.

Rule 3: Roll With The Punches: Allow for failure, and just roll with the punches.

The result is that you’ll have a better picture of just how much discretionary income you really have. Insurance due in 6 months at $600? Save$100 every month towards that expected but less frequent bill. For example, car insurance or property taxes.

Rule 2: Save For A Rainy Day: Eliminate the roller coaster of income and expenses by anticipating larger less frequent (but still regular) expenses.

When money is assigned, it is harder for it to just disappear, which is so often the case. Assigning all money to a category shouldn’t take very long, and it has the effect of causing you to know more about where your money is going every month. This is basically a zero-based budget – which I’m a big proponent of.

Rule 1: Give Every Dollar A Job: Each month you assign each and every available dollar to a spending or savings category.

You Need A Budget is based off of four simple rules or principles that the creators felt could help families build a solid financial foundation.

The software started as little more than a glorified excel spreadsheet, morphing over the past few years to become what it is today, a full featured stand alone budgeting software. It sprang from his own family’s desire to have a budgeting system or software that closely paralleled how they wanted to budget, using a zero based budget, and following their four rules (see them below). YNAB was started in early 2003 by Jesse Mecham, a former CPA with a Masters of Accountancy degree from Brigham Young University. So let’s start by looking at the history of You Need A Budget. I’ve been putting off trying it for a while now, but this past week I decided to give it a try. One software that I’ve heard quite a bit of positive feedback about over the last couple of years is You Need A Budget, a desktop budgeting software. While that wasn’t the main reason we used the software, we thought this might be a good time to start looking for a new software that we can use in doing our family budget, and that will work a bit better for actually doing a budget as opposed to just keeping tabs on your money.

While using Money has worked pretty well over the years, the software was recently discontinued by Microsoft, and the ability we had to automatically download transactions into the software have stopped working as of a month or two ago.

We also use to give us a snapshot of how our finances are looking. We enter our receipts and spending into the register in the software on a regular basis – usually weekly – and keep our finances in some semblance of order. For probably the past 8-9 years I’ve been using Microsoft Money as our main money managing tool.
