Welcome to our Giveaway of You Need A Budget (YNAB) Pro - Personal Finance Software on the eve of Mother's Day :). YNAB Pro software is sold at a price of $49.95. But it could be yours for FREE if you win this giveaway.

What is YNAB Pro?

It is a unique budgeting software that was developed by Jesse (an accountant) based on a new philosophy of budgeting that has four rules:
  1. Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck - The YNAB methodology along with the software will help you to aim and put effort towards living on the previous month’s income. Your earnings for the current month will be spent in the next month. Usually it takes around four to six months to accumulate enough money in savings to live on the previous month’s income. We feel that this is a very neat idea since it gives you a month's expenses in savings thus paving the way for your emergency fund.

  2. Give Every Dollar a Job - This concept will help you to allocate your funds to your spending and saving categories. Each of your hard earned dollar will be given a job, for example, rent, insurances, utilities, savings, emergency fund and the likes. This process provides a clear picture about your cash flow, you can actually see where your money is going.

  3. Prepare for Rain - The title says it all. This preparation helps you to amortize and save for your big ticket costs every month. That means when you get your car insurance bill for six months you already have the money to pay for it in your bank since you've been saving for it for last six months!

  4. Roll with the Punches - This idea keeps you on your "budgeting feet" when you overspend which is very likely to happen since there are always surprises in life and human beings do succumb to impulses. YNAB will aid you to create small adjustments on that overspending, ensuring that those mistakes are fixed before you move on to the next month. These corrections are gentle and it keeps the problem of overspending in control instead of allowing it snowball into a huge debt.

Is YNAB effective?

On an average, a YNAB user pays off $500 in debt and saves $235 in the first 31 days. That’s a $735 change in just one month! And it does not consume that much time either. It will take at the most 1 to 2 hours every month to have your budget in place. We feel that is definitely worth it to put in that effort considering the financial peace of mind you gain by budgeting your cash flow and being debt free.
