    Chelsea, Is this similar to a debit card? No consumer protections when making a purchase like a credit card? It looks like an interesting concept.

  • @SmartMoneyMamas

    @SmartMoneyMamas

    3 жыл бұрын

    It is like a debit card, but has more consumer protections because the cards standard balance is $0 unless you’ve opened a Qube or pre-authorized a transaction. So if a retailer tried to run a transaction without you authorizing it, it would decline. It’s actually why I like using it for online purchases - I worry less about the card number getting stolen.

    Okay I need someone to clarify something for me: in the video she said that there isn’t ever any money on the card but then later she stated she had $300 in her Qube cloud that she had to allocate to different qubes. Until she sent the money to a qube, was the $300 on the card?

    Hi Lisa! Bills and Savings Qubes will just be for Premium members BUT the reason you can't click on them right now is because the features aren't yet live. Bills Qubes should be live in the next few weeks and Savings Qubes don't have a specific release date yet. For my Qubes, we currently have: Groceries, Fuel, Household Goods, Auto Maintenance, Kids, Pets, Clothing, Dining Out, Family Fun and Gifts

This is also not a good solution for people who live rural. Access to your physical money is important.

    It’s so funny that I’ve been researching for a few weeks some budgeting programs, but never came across ANY of these. Just things like Mint and other budgeting ones that focus on investing and force you to enter every thing painstakingly. Mint is a quagmire. The more info they had on me, the less I understood. Even researched digital envelope budgeting and only came across articles saying that some banks let you do sub-accounts etc. Only came across Qube accidentally.

    If you are just starting with budgeting, which is better to use YNAB or Qube? I saw your video on YNAB, was checking it out for the free trial and trying to set it up. I just saw this video and now I'm wondering which to go with.

  • @SmartMoneyMamas

    @SmartMoneyMamas

    3 жыл бұрын

    It really depends on your personality and goals! If you think you'll have trouble keeping YNAB updated and accurate and/or your main goal is getting day-to-day overspending under control, start with Qube. If you're more focused on long-term planning (preparing for irregular expenses) and have some spending discipline, YNAB is perfect. YNAB is a fantastic tool, but many overspenders end up overusing the WAM (whack-a-mole) feature and it becomes a game of constantly moving around money to try to cover spending mistakes, unless they can build a habit of updating and checking their YNAB regularly. Where Qube stops that unplanned spending before it happens.

    I currently use Qube and I like the idea of digital envelopes. Qube advertises that your money gets deposited 2 days earlier with direct deposit… it hasn’t been in my case for some reason. My husband’s employer has always direct deposited into our bank every 2 weeks on the dot for years now. Ever since we decided to sign up for direct deposit with Qube, it seems Qube holds our money hostage for at least a couple of days. If it’s a holiday, his company makes an early deposit; Qube holds it for even more extra days after the holidays. His company never deposit money on the weekend, Qube does meaning they hold our money hostage. Even though the digital envelope aspect of it is nice, there’s quite a few headaches with Qube.

    You're right, it's a gimmicky pain in the butt. I dont see why all these youtubers have such positive reviews. Well actually I do see why. Qube makes sure they are fine, but the rest of us are left out in the dust. I'm going back to YNAB. Qube just gave me the mindset I need to make YNAB work for me again. I must have lost sight of it somewhere down the road, but I'm back where I need to be. Honestly, you don't need all those extra features of virtual cards, card locking, etc. with Qube when you have self-control with your spending. YNAB helps you build that. Qube just does it for you. I'd rather learn to fish than have someone fish for me, or however the saying goes.
