Setbacks are a fact of life. Fortunately YNAB gives you the tools to be flexible with your spending plan. While we plan our spending based on normal months, life often has other ideas and our months often don't align perfectly to the "normal" or ideal. Some months, or even years, really don't align with our plans, and the unexpected expenses just keep piling up. In today's episode, Ben and Ernie talk about some of their financial setbacks in 2024, including tax withholding issues, major medical expenses, and a seemingly ever-increasing pet category.
Even veteran YNAB'ers have setbacks, but luckily YNAB doesn't just help you prepare for the unexpected, it teaches you to be resilient and brings calm in the storm when life decides to throw you curveballs.
