You Need A Budget 4 for Mac Full Imagine your sparing and going through with the fourth cycle of 'You Need A Budget.' Clients can record consumptions on. Budget doesn't force you to follow a budget, but it does show you exactly where you're spending your money. Budget has many more features including integration with Address Book and iCal.
You Need a Budget (YNAB) (pronounced Why-nab) is an American multi-platform personal budgeting program based on the envelope method. In 2013 it was the most popular personal finance software among Lifehacker readers.[1]
Overview[edit]
YNAB is a software platform that can be used across desktop computers, the iPhone and Android operating systems, iPads, Apple Watches, and the Amazon Echo system[2]. The system is easy to learn and use, but for users who want to learn more in-depth about the system, a book has been published[3].
The general theory of YNAB is to 'give every dollar a job'. Each dollar in savings is saved for a specific purpose, such as annual car insurance payment, long-term housing repair fund, college savings, etc. The goal of YNAB is to consider long-term expenses every month to prevent spending 'surprises' and break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle.
While one could implement the same principles on their own, the software auto-imports transactions for users to categorize in one click. The software also displays financial reports to keep users informed about their finances at a glance. Lastly, the platform also has several open-source add-ons that offer additional reporting tools.
Versions[edit]
The latest version, dubbed 'The New YNAB' or 'nYNAB,' was launched December 30, 2015[4] as a web-based application, with apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.
The previous version 4, YNAB4, was released in June 2012. Version 4 was a desktop-based application available for Windows and Mac OS, with apps for iPhone and Android devices. Storing the budget file in DropBox allowed synchronization between the desktop and mobile applications. Version 4 was maintained through 2016, and the company ended support for Version 4 in October 2019.
YNAB 3 (released December 2009) ran on multiple platforms using the Adobe AIR runtime,[5] and previous versions included a Microsoft Excel/OpenOffice.org Calc spreadsheet implementation (dubbed YNAB Basic and discontinued in July 2009) and a Windows-only executable under the name YNAB Pro (discontinued in December 2009).
YNAB for iPhone was released in 2010 and runs on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It is not a standalone budgeting application but is instead designed to complement the YNAB for Desktop application. A version tailored for iPad and including budgeting support was released in 2014.[6][7] YNAB for Android was released in September 2011.[citation needed]
