Helping you use YNAB to live a spendful life
Imagine how it would feel to transform your relationship with money and:
- Get out of debt forever
- Stop worrying about when your next paycheck will come
- Make financial emergencies a thing of the past
- Spend without second guessing
YNAB (formerly known as You Need A Budget) can do that for you. YNAB is a great app. But it is much more than an app. It’s a different way of thinking about your money. And it can be life changing. With YNAB, you give every dollar a job. You don’t budget money you don’t yet have. For every dollar that comes in to your bank account, you can ask yourself five important questions that build stability, resilience and flexibility into your financial life. With YNAB, you live spendfully because you’re spending your money on the things that represent your values. And when you’re living spendfully you stop second-guessing your spending.
The downside to YNAB is that the learning curve can be a little steep. Not only do you need to learn to use the software, you also need to shift your thinking about budgeting and spending. Getting over that learning curve is absolutely worth the effort. As a YNAB Certified Coach, I would love to flatten the learning curve for you and provide expertise, support and accountability so you can be up and running with YNAB and on your way to a spendful life.
I was very hesitant about YNAB because I had tried it maybe seven years ago, and it just didn’t go well for me. Working with Janine made all the difference! With her guidance I had a much better understanding of how I should set my budget up and check in with it on a regular basis. She has made me a YNAB convert! I love knowing where my money is going and that I have money set aside for True Expenses – those real but not regular expenses that we all know are coming. She’s also right there if I get lost or have any questions. I have much more peace in my financial life thanks to Janine’s help.

YNAB Benefit: Catching missed bills
My memory isn’t what it used to be and I can’t rely on it to make sure I receive and pay bills, particularly annual bills. Thanks to YNAB and my annual targets, though, I notice when expected bills aren’t received. At the beginning or end of every month I scan the available money in my…

Does your spending plan tell your story?
In my YNAB coaching training (or perhaps it was at the YNAB Fan Fest) I heard someone suggest that an individual YNAB user’s spending plan ought to reveal something about the user. I love the idea that I can tell what my priorities are (or what a coaching client’s priorities are) by glancing at a…

Be very careful of phishing scams
I feel like the fraudsters are getting more and more clever as they imitate actual financial institutions in their emails in an effort to get you to click on their link and enter your username and password. Recently I received an email purportedly from the Capital One Fraud Monitoring Department telling me they’d identified activity…
