Re: Scanning/Adding Receipts: Why?
I've loved seeing people chime-in who also use YNAB for business budgeting. Nice to know I'm not completely weird. (Okay, not completely weird for that reason .…

Re: How often does YNAB sync, and how can you tell if it happened or not?
@Benjamin Ray I'd put that issue to support. Yes, when I first login, most accounts often say hours, sometimes dozens, and often "updated one day ago." A few minutes later (maybe an hour for US…

Re: How often does YNAB sync, and how can you tell if it happened or not?
@Benjamin Ray To update since my last, I am finding that YNAB will import after I login. It may take awhile, but it will. I'm not experiencing any restriction or limitation based on it having been…

Re: Handling Reimbursements?
@flame3912 I feel your pain. Same here. I do not like seeing those overspent accounts, but right now I'm not going to budget dollars to do a job that doesn't need doing for another 30-60 days.…

Re: Scanning/Adding Receipts: Why?
@Cornflower Blue Saxophone Got it. So maybe it'd have to be spectacular with the OCR data-capture and be *All That* before some folks would want to pay anything more for it.…

Re: Scanning/Adding Receipts: Why?
@Cornflower Blue Saxophone I would agree that OCR would be spectacular and marvelous. But I disagree that it's necessary. It is not for me. I won't suggest to YNAB that it's somehow useless to do…

Re: How often does YNAB sync, and how can you tell if it happened or not?
@Faness Ya it's working. Showing updates from 18-21 minutes ago. The strategy is an old one, kinda "Back to the Future." You young-uns wouldn't remember how we used to get to work and first thing…

Re: How often does YNAB sync, and how can you tell if it happened or not?
@Faness Thank you. This helps. Though I regularly close the tab I opened to access YNAB, I rarely have any need to logout and login again. I'm usually staying logged-in for weeks.…

Re: How often does YNAB sync, and how can you tell if it happened or not?
Thanks for the tips, everyone. Here's what I tried. I don't leave YNAB open, but I usually stay logged-in. So I opened YNAB; on the two active accounts, it showed last updates "a day ago.…

Re: How often does YNAB sync, and how can you tell if it happened or not?
@Faness That's good to know, yet that's not how I experience it. I can open YNAB in the morning and see my accounts haven't imported within the last 8 hours.…

@Beige Piccolo I did replace Quicken with YNAB. (I hadn't used any receipt-image capturing in Quicken, and am surprised to hear it had it; by the time I left Quicken,…

Re: How to handle self employed business expenses (non reimbursable)?
@Tan Yearling though I agree with the other posters suggesting that you'll want to have the books and budget separate at some point (and it will be easier to do it sooner),…

@Slate Blue Sander Ooo, find a way to bring over the categorization I already did in Freshbooks and I'm an Alpha tester for you.

Re: Scanning/Adding Receipts: Why?
Yes, I know plenty of people who don't see the value of capturing receipts (either digital or paper) at the point of sale. Others wouldn't even think of reconciling their credit card statement. I do.…

Re: How to handle self employed business expenses (non reimbursable)?
@Digital Diva Thanks for getting back to the main point of the OP. Separate accounts and separate budgets for personal and business. Frankly, once setup, even for "small" businesses it's easier.…

Re: Scanning/Adding Receipts: Why?
Personal or business, I keep my receipts. So having them digital would allow my bookkeeping to enter the 21st Century. After 30 years of chasing the promise of paperless office, I'm finally there,…
