  • How to Be Spendful When the World Is on Fire
    Apr 24 2025

    If the world seems like it's on fire right now... it may be true. But then again, the world always seems like it's on fire, at least depending on who you ask. If you ask the news, it certainly is! Fortunately, the YNAB method -- giving every dollar a job and working through the 5 Questions -- can bring peace and calm to your finances.

  • Delete Your Emergency Fund
    Apr 17 2025

    On the surface, emergency funds sound like a very prudent idea. You set aside cash for unknowable, unforseeable events so that you aren't strapped when you really need it. We're not disagreeing with the idea, but an emergency fund is somewhat counter to the core principle of YNAB: giving every dollar a job. In an emergency fund, dollars are given a job, but it's a vague one.

    Jesse likens it to a football coach yelling at his defense to "just stop the other team from scoring!" The coach is identifying the basic goal of the game, but there's nothing specific to help the players actually accomplish that task. A good coach instead instructs players what to do at an individual level, adjusting their positioning, technique, key reads etc. so that they can more effectively play their role on the team. The net result is the same -- stopping the other team from scoring -- but the results are far more effective.

    The same is true with your dollars. While yes, we do want to set aside money for larger, less frequent expenses, the truth is many of these expenses are knowable, we just don't plan for them. New roof, new tires, plumbing repair, etc. Including these items into your plan and saving for them accomplishes what the emergency fund accomplishes, but with more clarity.

    So, consider just deleting your emergency fund. Or at least make it smaller, and give those dollars more specific, effective jobs.

  • Are Your Savings Making You Stingy?
    Apr 10 2025

    All money is meant to be spent, it's just a matter of when. Some people get caught in a cycle of amassing savings with no clear goal of how it is to be spent. Jesse shares an example from his wedding of how the desire to save money can backfire, and demonstrates how having a plan for your money, whether it's in the near future or distant future, is the most important thing.

    As we say at YNAB, give every dollar job.

Great podcast about all things related to YNAB

I've been using YNAB for 2 years and love. Jessie's podcast discusses talks about a large variety of topics about personal finance, mindset, and personal growth. He interviews a lot of people with different expertise.

YNAB finally makes budgeting work

Before YNAB, I created budgets on paper, in envelopes, on spreadsheets, and in 2 other apps. I always just spent what I spent. This finally makes sense of my spending and it has allowed me to get almost 4 months ahead and close 6 savings accounts! Jesse's podcasts help me stay motivated and on track.Thanks, Jesse!

Jesse Has Great Content! Love this Podcast!

Listening to this podcast and using the YNAB app has made a huge difference in my finances. I no longer wonder where my money is as I have given "every dollar a job." I can't recommend this Podcast or YNAB services enough to those who want to manage their money.

Weekly short simple talks about money and budgets

I'm a long time YNAB user and podcast listener. I like Jesse's easy going style and willingness to talk about whatever he's got on his mind that week. Some episodes might not directly apply to you, but there's usually some tidbit that makes you think about something a little differently than you did before,

His voice is soothing

I started listening to the podcasts in 2019. I listened from the first episode and slowly got caught up. The thing I like about Jesse Mecham and this podcast is the fact that he’s not yelling. He’s not yelling at me at what a crappy person I am for letting it get this badly and telling me I should have done this or that.

I wish I knew about the podcasts back when I started YNAB 4 (randomly saw it in Steam). The podcast would have helped me a lot because I finally realized I’m not the only one dealing with a ton of debt. The podcasts vary. He will have tips and advice on how to budget, stories that relate to budgeting, people come on the podcast and tell their stories and how they overcame in, random life updates (which I enjoy) and other things.

It’s definitely worth a listen :)
