YNAB Trumps Paper Budget Planning
There are a few areas of life I think digital technology trumps good old fashioned paper & pen and one of those areas is managing your finances. While I know some people have a lot of success using paper budget planners and various financial inserts, I've found personally & in my work with others that the benefits of digital options far outweigh paper options.
After using a combo of free digital options and being super skeptical of paying for a financial app, three months ago I jumped on the YNAB bandwagon and haven't looked back. I believe YNAB (aka You Need a Budget) is the best budgeting app out there. No matter if you use YNAB or other digital options I believe you will see greater success in managing your finances and reaching your goals using technology vs paper.
Disclaimer - if you are rocking your financial goals using a paper planner, stick with what works! This is just my opinion and experience!
So here are my Top 7 Reasons YNAB trumps Paper Budgeting:
- It's an All-In-One Software! It can replace your check register, manage your budgets, help you reach savings goals & pay off debts, as well as manage long-term expenses.
- Helps you learn to give every dollar a job!
- Live at your fingertips at anytime helping you make sound financial decisions.
- It emulates real life - flexible yet structured!
- Easily manages sinking funds/long-term expenses!
- Keeps you and your spouse (or family) all on the same page!
- Gives you a real time financial snapshot!

I do use a few simple Bill Due stickers in my planner as a reminder to pay irregular bills or bills that require I write a check, but other than that all my financial management lives in YNAB!
