Budget Nerds

If you follow any of the content at YNAB -- whether it's Budget Nerds, the Jesse Mecham Show, or social media -- you've probably heard the term "getting good at money" in many different contexts over the past few months. But what does it actually mean to be "good" at money. Ben and Ernie share their thoughts about what being good with money is, in terms of skill, emotional wellness, and a strong sense of purpose in life.

Ben and Ernie are back with a Q&A episode, answering questions about YNAB from podcast listeners and YouTube viewers. In this episode, they discuss travel tips for funding vacations and keeping vacation expenses organized in the moment. They talk about how the new photo feature and bulk editing features can be used to preserve important memories as well as information about your travels.
 
The Nerds also explore how YNAB can simplify tax preparation with a little planning (and sometimes a separate plan if you own a business). They answer questions about debt paydown while still working towards getting a month ahead on expenses, as well as the other side of the coin -- what do you do after everything is funded, you're a month ahead or more, and you're asking yourself: "what next?"

Ben and Ernie are live on YouTube again, this time inviting you to YNAB with them! Ben and Ernie went live on May 13, 2026, and walked through their recent transactions -- categorizing, moving money, re-evaluating priorities -- and answered questions from viewers along the way.
 
This livestream relies heavily on screensharing since Ben and Ernie are using the YNAB app live, so we recommend you check out the replay of the livestream on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/live/PNC4OkJbHwA?si=MNDmYSG_RgLxWe0o
