    Ernie will agree with me... Why would I want to shortcut my time in YNAB? I look for ways to spend more time YNABing. 🤪 The intro was hilarious, 100% me on my laptop.

    I’ve got to try these! From my full-time job my dominant wrist is killing me. So I do need a break from using my mouse. And this is a good reminder to use desktop version, I like it way better than the Phone app. Don’t give me wrong. I use the phone app 95% of the time but I like the desktop version even better! Thanks for the tips, Hannah!

    I LOVVVVE the desktop version. I only use YNAB on my phone when I'm out and about/when I'm bored and don't have access to a computer 😂 The keyboard shortcuts have been shockingly FUN for me to implement because it makes YNAB feel even more like a game or a puzzle to solve. Sure fire way to feel like a pro 😎 🌻 Hannah

    Love the video, as usual, Hannah! I first thought the up arrow to go to the bottom was odd, but now it makes complete sense. The target snooze feature is incredible; possibly underrated. One thing that is strange is when I choose to match something, I also have to approve it. I get auto-matches need an approval, but if I choose to match, I shouldn’t have to approve. However, the shortcuts should make this quick! Signing off to practice the shortcuts now!

    I'm new to YNAB and the crew. I love Ben and Hannah but I have a girl-crush on Hannah. 😏😏 I have to say the first day of YNABing had me in a panic but now, on day 3, I think I know kinda what I'm doing. lol! These videos have been SO helpful as has the FREE workbook. I tried another budgeting program for the last year but it always made me feel guilty for even wanting a credit card. Even when paying it off every month. No judgment from y'all and you show how to use that credit card to pay for things without going into further debt, along with so many how-to videos and help that I feel like I might finally have my shit together. Thank you to you all, especially Hannah. You are so fun and cute and smart and awesome. 💖💖😀😀

    OMG! Is this YNAB, or is this Vim?? _Welcome to YNAE (You Need An Editor) - or maybe Yim - Where people who are a cut above everyone else budget using _*_only_*_ the keyboard and nothing else!_ Press '$' to enter money mode, press 'b' to budget, press '10' to repeat it ten times automagically. Voila!! Now I know what you're thinking: _"Wait, how the heck do I exit Yim??"_ That's on purpose! Because now the budget staring begins... ( o.o)

    Yes, what @yarnstead said! I have all my accounts linked, but when I'm out and about spending money in those more variable, everyday categories (getting gas, buying groceries, spending fun money, etc), I record these transactions RIGHT away to keep my category balances up to date. Then, when that same transaction I entered myself imports into YNAB from my bank later, they link up to each other to prevent duplicates. It's amazing!! 🌻 Hannah

    @@YNABofficial Why? Because of the Loan tracker? I don't have any loans. Because of the YNAB Together? I live alone. I have no one to share with. Because of Managed Views? I have that on the Android app but I've yet to find a use for it. Creating or adjusting targets is easier on the Web app. Reconciling is easier on the Web app. Managing Payees is easier on the Web App. Funding a new month is somewhat easier on the Web app. But for day-to-day usage the Android app is King.

    Haha, oh no no no! Literally for the reason that working on the web app makes me feel large and in charge, while I don't love having to work in the mobile app with only two and small buttons. I prefer the feeling of wizardry I get from the web app, that's all 😂 🌻 Hannah
