And these guys! Awesome show about how to use an incredible tool to its fullest potential.
I love the latest episode on ADHD. It was so helpful and comforting to hear so much of what I have been struggling with described so clearly !
I like both hosts and they explain things well. Easy to follow and keep subscribed but wish the YNAB team could come up with more creative topics or a new format.
Not a fan of the odd new intro music, but love the show overall. So many good tips! One thing, I wish they would edit the audio more. In the latest episode on mistakes in YNAB, it sounded like someone was emptying the dishwasher in the background! Very distracting! Surely, someone can clean that background noise up in editing!
I love getting different ideas from the pod for managing my spending plan, and getting to hear people’s YNAB journeys.
