What's the Alternative?
Jesse reviews the Four Rules and takes issue with those who say, "yeah must be nice to have extra money to make a plan with... everything I make is spoken for." It's true, there are some people who have a legitimate income problem. But this argument often becomes an excuse to not actually make plans for your money, to not try to follow the rules and start to get ahead on your expenses. After all, what's the alternative?

Your Biggest Single Expense
Your biggest single expense is one you probably don't think about much... unless you're American and it's April 15th. You may think it's housing, or maybe education, or raising kids, but all those costs are dwarfed by the elephant on your income statement: taxes. We are taxed in hundreds of ways, some obvious like income taxes and sales tax, others more insidious like fuel tax, air travel tax, liquor tax, etc, etc. Jesse points this out to demonstrate something important -- you can be desensitized to almost any expense, even the single biggest expense in your life!

Let's Cut Spending!
Let's cut spending! And then... what exactly? The all too common advice that you need to "cut spending" implies that your level of consumption is simply too high. That may or may not be the case, but in Jesse's experience and the thousands upon thousands of people YNAB has helped to regain control over their money, "spending less" is rarely the problem. Most people don't have a spending too much problem, they have a spending on the wrong things problem. For that reason, you'll never hear Jesse give advice to just "cut spending."

Kundenrezensionen
You always get something to learn!
This awesome podcast covers a lot of the questions I asked myself & the support team when I started using YNAB. Maybe not every episode relates to my personal financial situation (e.g. I fortunately don‘t have to deal with debt) but there is always at least one thing you can learn from - and fit it into your way of budgeting. Most importantly you become aware that it‘s not only you having problems, which really helps turning your worries into actions!
The quality-content is very well presented, easy to listend to and comprehensible and sticks to the topic resulting in a very pleasant piece of education.
Also the frequency of release and the average episode length make it feel like a treat. I can only more than recommend this to any of you co-budgeteers out there!
