“Hm, I was a big fan of the YNAB podcast, but I feel that the direction has shifted a bit (especially with these tangents on credit cards). It’s feels more “angry” or that I’m being lectured to. I love learning, which is why I began listening. But it’s shifting a bit into a talk radio space.”

“Easily one of the best, simplest podcasts and best, simplest budgeting apps. It might take a little getting used to but in the last 4 months alone I’ve halved my total debt and expect to be debt free by the end of the year. Let that sink in.
This podcast is a nice regular listen that keeps you...”Read full review »

“After a decade of student loan debt that drowned us, children joining our lives, budgeting has been hard. We had listened to all of the budgeting gurus………at least that’s what we thought. We did the other apps, we tried the envelope system, and we failed each time. Nothing was adaptable until now....”Read full review »

“November 2021 UPDATE.
