Re: Are categories are account-agnostic?
@nolesrule Ah, great. I see that in the web interface. I was looking for this setting in the mobile app.

Re: Are categories are account-agnostic?
@dakinemaui Got it, thanks! Yeah I think this is where I need to shift my thinking. I've been doing it so long one way and I am trying to break that habit now.

Re: Are categories are account-agnostic?
@nolesrule No, do you mean in my actual banking account I would enable that feature, not YNAB? Thanks!

Re: Are categories are account-agnostic?
@anderso9 Thank you! This is exactly what I’ve been doing is to have a category dedicated to certain accounts (every account but my main checking) and then make sure the category and account…

Re: Are categories are account-agnostic?
@Superbone In YNAB, how are you able to look at your running balance one month into the future? I can see future transactions but it doesn’t seem to show me the future running balance.

Are categories are account-agnostic?
One thing I’ve struggled with in my first few years of using YNAB is accounts versus categories, specifically when budgeting money from multiple accounts into a single category,…

Re: What's the best way to build up regular spending categories?
I personally like to break up categories as much as possible. Lumping similar expenses into the same category causes me to forget to budget for things.…

Re: Paying CC off in full mid month
Hi - if you only charge your CC from your available budget (cash account) then it doesn’t matter when you pay it down. I typically pay my CC down as soon as the charges post which ends up being…

Re: Does this category spark joy?
I like this mentality of making sure there are at least a few “guilty pleasure” categories in your budget. Otherwise why are we doing this if it’s not allowing us to spend on things we enjoy?…

Re: How to improve my skill level in identifying my own inputting errors
@dakinemaui Makes sense. Yeah I think in my early days of YNAB I was still learning and made mistakes and now that I've gotten better I probably don't need the balance check but I've kept it around…

Re: How to improve my skill level in identifying my own inputting errors
@dakinemaui Thanks but I'm referring to money already budgeted to categories, not TBB. The repeat verification is a sanity check to ensure my bank account lines up with what I have budgeted and…

Re: How to improve my skill level in identifying my own inputting errors
@Amy H I can fully relate to the error-prone nature of humans and numbers. I've always thought YNAB could have some sort of history log of every time available funds are moved between categories,…

Re: 1st of the Month payments, when 1st is on weekend or holiday
@tonybrown32 Oh gotcha, that makes sense. I'm in the U.S. also but I've never setup my bank to make automatic payments (I typically just pay the provider directly).

Re: 1st of the Month payments, when 1st is on weekend or holiday
But this month, my December 1st payment will be sent on November 29th because the 1st lands on a Sunday. I've honestly never experienced this. If the normal payment date is a Sunday or holiday,…

Nevermind! 😄I see my problem now. Since I didn't actually have anything budgeted yet for October, I can't get that budget month. As soon as I budgeted something for October,…

Re: What about data recovery? Has anyone had experience?
There is an “Undo” option in the desktop interface but I don’t think it’s in the mobile app. I’ve always thought a “snapshot” or “rollback” feature would be handy also.…

Re: How to handle early expenses in a category with consistent monthly contributions
@Agent99 I agree. I feel like there's no simple answer here. Buying gifts is truly a year-round consideration and can't be designated to just a specific month or target dollar amount.…
