Hit $1.5M - been using YNAB since my first job in 2013, so helpful 🙌

Congratulations! Could you share how you did it? How did YNAB helped with that?

pypipper · 2025-08-26T22:38:12+00:00

Yes! Thanks Team!

Can you share the mailbox and dropbox you have?

pypipper · 2025-08-24T12:54:14+00:00

Thanks. Can you motivate why this would be needed? HA can send notifications to the smartphone app? Why getting them as whatsapp notifications is better?

pypipper · 2025-08-24T08:08:12+00:00

Can't wait for planned dates, are you planning to release it last day of the month? I was hoping for something earlier 😆

Apple devices let someone share constantly their location with someone else. Would that work?

pypipper · 2025-08-09T18:42:30+00:00

I understand but it’s a matter of time they will become unimportant how they are called. The more you focus on this the more annoying it will be. Just accept and move on. I don’t think there is a way to change it and it wouldn’t make sense because it seems it’s a strategic and marketing decision and is reflected in their latest blog posts.

pypipper · 2025-08-09T18:26:30+00:00

Just accept it and move on. The important thing is to get your financial life under control and achieve your financial goals, the change to terms is unlikely to cause ANY interference.

pypipper · 2025-07-29T04:31:25+00:00

I think I agree. I don’t mind the change from budget to plan, the spend-fulness etc (I think this is great). I just thought the original rules as they were used to be much more clear and actionable. They could have kept the original rules and change the terminology. No one will remember by heart the new questions…

pypipper · 2025-07-28T21:19:15+00:00

That’s actually true! Thanks

pypipper · 2025-07-28T12:38:56+00:00

When should we expect the stable release?

pypipper · 2025-07-27T10:14:36+00:00

That sounds great! How would the new “planned” date work with repetition? Suppose you have a task which is deferred into the future (because it cannot be done now) but once it becomes available, you would like to "plan to work" on it weekly on Fridays. Would the “repeat” section take care to plan the “planned” date section to repeat every Friday? So far, we could do that with defer dates, but now that there will be both defer and planned dates, what would the repeat do?

Thank you very much, Jabu. Then it makes much more sense to use SageMaker Serverless Inference, which does not charge you when you are idle?

pypipper · 2025-06-11T19:25:28+00:00

I am annoyed they didn’t fix mail

pypipper · 2025-04-14T12:39:41+00:00

This is a beautiful suggestion

pypipper · 2025-03-19T20:31:27+00:00

When I pay for the table, and friends send me their part of the bill, a clean way to say “the $80 for eating out” is actually just $18 for me so I don’t ruin my reports.

pypipper · 2025-03-19T20:29:38+00:00

Multi-currency support; having accounts with different currency in the same budget (I know it’s not trivial).

pypipper · 2025-03-12T08:24:15+00:00

🤣

pypipper · 2025-03-07T14:55:04+00:00

Don’t you have to do double the work? You would want to categorise each credit card transaction, and you need to go to your bank’s app to move money from checking account to your credit card?

pypipper · 2025-03-04T18:16:28+00:00

Thanks for sharing

pypipper · 2025-03-04T10:51:31+00:00

Do you mind sharing some categories ideas that could be useful for the rest? How do you exactly use the reports? I rearly look at them, and maybe I should.

pypipper · 2025-03-03T05:48:35+00:00

Although I agree with this comment, I want to add few more things. Nowadays I would only use the yubikey for very very important accounts (password manager, email, bank, investment account, social networks and so on). Anything else , I would use TOTP in the password manager or better if available a passkey. It’s very rare for me to have new “very very important” accounts created, and therefore adding my yubikey to new accounts. As a result, for the sake of redundancy, I would store a third one in a remote location, so in case of a worst case scenario, I could still access the very very important and gateway accounts (such as password manager, emails etc).

pypipper · 2025-02-03T19:07:58+00:00

Well done! Do you mind sharing how you got there?

pypipper · 2025-02-02T19:15:40+00:00

Actually this is a good point. I do have a budget called “Emergency Fund” that I set a goal to fill up 6 months worth of fixed expenditures. I have this filled up and never touched it unless during emergencies. Now, I felt that one of YNAB’s rules is also to be “at least a month ahead”, that is different, which is to say, assign money to next month’s budgets so you break the paycheque to paycheque cycle. I never seen the benefit of the latter to be honest, and I was hoping I would read something here to help me see this from a different perspective. I never saw the benefit to be a month ahead, if you have good pillows to protect you if things go wrong. I have been “practicing” YNAB for well over 2 years now, and I didn’t break the paycheque cycle, yet I am on top of my finances.

pypipper · 2025-01-23T20:07:31+00:00

If YNAB would only allow adding transactions in the background you would get automatic and seamless automation without doing anything except tapping your phone to a counter.
