FAQ

Do I need to have YNAB already?
Nope! I’ll help you get started from scratch, including signing up, setting up your categories, linking accounts, and understanding how the system works. YNAB offers a 34 day free trial and if you work with me I can add two additional months free.

What if I have variable income?
YNAB is great for people with unpredictable income. I’ll show you how to build a flexible plan that adjusts month to month—without the stress.

Is this only for people in debt or financial crisis?
Not at all. I work with people at all stages—some are paying off debt, some are saving for big goals, and others just want more peace of mind. YNAB works whether you’re climbing out or leveling up.

Can you help me clean up a messy or abandoned YNAB budget?
Absolutely. Whether your YNAB has 52 unassigned transactions or you haven’t opened it in six months, I’ll help you reset and create a manageable plan moving forward.

How is this different from just using YNAB’s free tutorials?
YNAB’s tutorials are great—but they’re one-size-fits-all. With coaching, you get a personalized plan, expert guidance, and real-time problem-solving tailored to your situation. You’ll avoid common mistakes and build confidence faster.

Do I need to commit to multiple sessions?
Not at all. I offer one-time sessions, packages, and ongoing support. You choose what fits your needs and budget.

Is everything confidential?
Yes. All coaching sessions are confidential and judgment-free. You’re safe here.

What if I don’t like YNAB after I try it?
That’s okay! YNAB isn’t for everyone, and we can talk through whether a different budgeting method is a better fit. My goal is helping you find what works—not forcing one tool.
