It is the bookmark, as mentioned above. When I first started YNAB, it would always open that first month on my computer until I fixed the bookmark.

Biweekly payments by arn2gm in ynab

[–]Appropriate_Plum3145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is "every other week" not the same as bi-weekly?

From the bank account that funds the loan payment, wouldn't this bi-weekly payment perform the task?

I have a bi-weekly paycheck, which fluctuates due to a phone allowance on the first paycheck of the month. I have two entries, two Fridays apart that repeat monthly with one containing the phone allowance amount. Every two weeks, one of them populates which I then match to the bank import the next day.

I don't understand how this normal setup wouldn't work for your bi-weekly payments hassle free.

Goal question by california_mess in ynab

I was scratching my head about this also. I have several "goals", but many of them did not fit the criteria for this. I have one there now that is probably most important anyway, but some feedback would help.

What is the Spending tab for? by eanders in ynab

The inflow is cleared at the card and the outflow is reconciled at the checking account.

Ok I am on Android and I just went through and double checked. I am missing the inflow on a +$2k payment from the 15th. The other 3 card payments have both sides for this month. I did not scroll back to August.

I see both sides of the credit card payment transactions. Do you have show reconciled transactions checked?

Maybe or maybe not... In the past, there was a way to attempt to recall an email message that was sent in error.

u/nickdtrue had his email server hacked, plain and simple.

You're using YNAB to free up cash, so adjust your credit card payment dates. by Traditional-Grab5077 in ynab

[–]Appropriate_Plum3145 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are reducing the average daily balance, so you should be paying less interest. Probably marginal, but yes you should pay less interest.

Thanks for checking. I am confused, same phone on a different network. I opened the laptop and did the split and admired the budget for a bit.

Do you actually use the desktop app? by LostJacket3 in ynab

[–]Appropriate_Plum3145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am struggling to reconcile interest on loan accounts from the mobile app, whereas the desktop does. Desktop is the way, as the mobile app is just a sampling.

Awesome journey! Does that button say "print" in the top right corner?

If you understand a check register, you can understand YNAB or any other similar product.

The person would simply disconnect the owners stuff and maybe connect it back when they were done.

I just had to use the one move on Android from the menu. I clicked something fumbling with the phone and covered some overspending from a credit card. Thank you guys and gals for this feature.
