We get it, you're a budget nerd. YNAB isn't just an app for you, or even a method, it's a *way of life*... and you want to share it! But you've likely already tried, only to find your enthusiasm fall…
Okay, so yeah, so three ways that Peyton went over there.
One is just straight up giving YNAB away as a gift, which you can do for three months or a whole year.
I feel like I
say this all the time, but wind up together just seems like one of those features that is just hidden.
It's under the bed in the guest bedroom.
You know, so I always, any chance we get to talk about it, I like to, because it's the easiest place to start with the people in your family.
You know, you introduce your teenagers to money through inviting them into your plan.
You know, we've seen...
Well, I'm thinking back to the New York Fan Fest, Ben, when we went to Bryant Park and we met Bonnie and Boo, that mother-daughter duo, where it was the daughter who started YNAB and then introduced her mom...
And then the idea was when mom gets to a place where maybe she can't handle the finances anymore or doesn't want to, she can turn it over completely and easily to her daughter because they're all right there together in YNAB together.
And then we've seen it go the other ways too.
We've seen a lot of stories, heard a lot of stories about that where parents start with it and then pass it on to their kids.
So that's just a really simple one to start with right now today.
yeah but uh yeah there's some there's some goodies though some incentives that come with all these things so let's talk about that um first YNAB subscribers get three free months when you purchase any gift subscription now it has to be some for somebody who's never used YNAB before otherwise shenanigans could happen right you can't buy
yourself a ton of subscriptions right and
Yeah, yeah.
So if you buy a subscription, either three months or a year, either one, and it's redeemed by a new YNABber, you'll get three months free, which is pretty
cool.
This is funny and kind of a tangent, but when Peyton was talking about...
the gifting and you mentioned something about, you know, having a conversation ahead of time.
And then Peyton was like, or, you know, you gift and then have the conversation.
Right.
Yeah.
