02/02/2025, 8:06 AMAlthough, it seems like (almost) everyone here uses Ynab. I personally tried it for one year and didn't like it that much. I'm using Every Dollar now which I'm happy with. Has anyone used the Monarch app? (Looks like a nice budgeting, net worth tracking app)

YNAB is also zero-based budgeting, so what's the difference?

02/03/2025, 3:24 PMevery UI has some kind of learning curb, and there will always be those that find it more intuitive than others.
YNAB's courses are more about understanding it's philosophy which they have have basically boiled down to one principle "make sure each dollar you have (and only the ones you have) have a job" the rest is all about how you decide what job to give

02/09/2025, 9:34 PMAnyway I am sure there are other good apps out there but there is a lot of power IMO of us all using the same one so we can learn grow and share resources. Also the software we are building will plug in directly to your YNAB to provide insights which might be a good selling point

02/09/2025, 9:35 PMif you want to know like your averages comapred to other frum people, you’ll need to be on YNAB to plug in
