I am also interested to hear about the difference between YNAB Pro and Quicken. Thanks for the link Ryan.

Neil: I wrote an article as a follow-up to the e-mail I sent you in response to your question: Battle of the Money Management Tools: Comparing YNAB Pro and Quicken.

The quick and dirty answer is that it depends on your needs. I know that doesn’t tell you much, so go check out the article!

I think the biggest step you can take when budgeting is realizing that every penny has a purpose.

When you’re able to track all the money that comes in and all the money that comes out, you can get that zero-based system where all your money is doing something.

Great review.

Hi Kristen,
I’m the owner of YouNeedABudget.com — you certainly piqued my interest about mentioning it on a TV interview! I’d love to get in touch with you and find out how it went.

Also Ryan, thanks for the great review!

And to Neal, I would recommend it over Quicken It’s a different approach to your money, focused much more on activities that deliver results, instead of activities that are done for their own sake… I’d encourage you to take the 10-day course and give it a test drive!

Thanks Ryan.

Would you recommend this over Quicken? If so, why?

Ryan, your post is helping to save my morning!! I was out of the office yesterday. I have to do a TV interview in an hour about budgeting at home, and they want to know about software. This is a perfect product to mention, and I wasn’t aware of it until right now. Thank you!
