Credit Card Billing Cycle Explanation
• Billing Cycle: How To ...
While I love YNAB, unfortunately, it can be pretty confusing. A lot of people will sign up only to get quickly frustrated and then give up never to return. And how YNAB handles credit cards is probably the most confusing aspect of the program. For some reason, it just isn't intuitive for most people, despite the fact that YNAB handles credit cards in the most realistic way possible.
I've never seen another budgeting program out there treat credit cards how they work in real life... except for YNAB. When I finally understand this, it sold me on the program and made me an instant fan.
I hope that this video will do the same for you.
In this video I'll cover:
- How to set up your YNAB accounts
- How to deal with your starting credit card balance
- Using YNAB's goal function to pay off your credit card
- How YNAB treats credit card transactions
- The difference between debit & credit and how YNAB handles them
- How to deal with overspending on a credit card
- Adding credit card interest to YNAB
- Making payments towards your credit cards
- A pro tip for never missing a payment
This tutorial truly is everything you need to know about YNAB and credit cards. I hope you learn something and be sure to leave a comment with any questions you have.

    Nick, after struggling to realize that my "mental" budget was really disconnected to reality I looked around for ways to get a hold of my spending. I tried Mint and it didn‘t really work for me. After watching your videos I gave YNAB a shot and after a month of free trial, I was almost excited to spend the money on this product. Now after almost 6 months in, I have watched your videos countless time, I don‘t even google YNAB questions anymore, I just look for the appropriate video of yours. I agree with many others by saying YNAB should include these videos in their tutorials. Your videos have changed the way I look at my money and spending. Thank you!

    Hey Nick, I've been trying out YNAB over the last couple of weeks and I have to say that your two videos have convinced me to purchase the subscription. Those two videos are by far the best ones I have come across for simply describing the process of using YNAB correctly. I was having all types of problems figuring things out until last night. I watched many other videos but for some reason yours really clicked with me and I'm pretty confident that I can use the software to meet my needs now. Your other videos are pretty great too but I feel like these YNAB videos are top quality, standout content. Thanks so much for making these!

    This is 2nd of Nick's YNAB videos that I have now watched. Both the videos are thorough and well articulated that it just makes sense. They are truly a must watch before tackling YNAB. Given all the other comments on fighting the app and to make it work for lengthy periods I am grateful I came across these videos before wasting too much time and/or just giving up all together. I bet there is a direct correlation on how fast one hits the ground running by simply watching these videos. Keep up the great work! Thanks again!

    Nick, Your videos have really helped me get YNAB setup and operational. It's only been a few weeks but I am starting to see my attitude change about how I am managing my money. I used to have a sophisticated spreadsheet that was excellent at forecasting but crappy at showing me where I was going wrong and spending poorly. I am now finding those mistakes and correcting my spending. I have set goals for my categories and started getting realistic about how the money is spect. It was your videos however that helped me understand the concept of credit cards (how it works in YNAB) as well as get over the idea I needed to allocate my future money to things each month... that I just roll with the paycheques and make sure my goals are accurate so that those dollars will have a job when I do enter that paycheque transaction. Nice work, thorough explanation... great job.

    For the 1st time in my 40 years of handing our families finances, I am excited, and most importantly, confident I can. I have tried Mint, and Every Dollor, and gave up quickly. Something was always missing, I thought it was me. You just explained in 2 videos, and 1 hour all my past problems. Starting YNAB today. Can't wait to watch all your videos, laster .... after my head clears. Most likely I'll be watching the starter video and this one over a few times 1st. What would you recommend as the next "most important" if you had to choose. We are months away from a 100% debt free life, also for the 1st time. No more house payments! I can't wait to see where we go from here. Keep up the great work.

    Nick, I’m just starting to watch just your second video, and I must say, I am impressed! I’ve been trying to budget since I’ve been married 23 years ago, mostly failing. The main problem was keeping track of what I actually spend and categorizing it so it corresponds with my budget. I’m using YNAB for the 2nd time (I didn’t like it several years ago before all of their recent updates and move to the cloud version and newer app), and now I will not budget in anything else. I still mess it up sometimes, and still have the bad habit of overspending but hopefully soon I’ll get this right! Anyway, all that to say, your one video I’ve watched was awesome!!!! I’ve watched hundreds of budgeting videos and yours is really good! Thank you! I can’t wait to finish the credit card one I’m watching (because I think I’ve still been a little confused) and find another one! Are you employed by YNAB? If not, you should pursue it. They need to snag you up in a heartbeat. I’ll recommend you!

Also, I am able to pass along this information to my teenage kids, giving them a leg-up before they even get started!

    I have been using YNAB since it's very beginning, and I just didn't get it, no matter how many of YNAB's tutorials I watched. That was until I found your videos, you explain it all so simply and in a way that my brain understands. For this I thank you. I used to be on the YNAB classic version but since watching your videos I have ventured to the newest version.

I was adding transactions, assigning categories and then on top of that, budgeting the total payment to my CC Company (which included the money I had already budgeted in other categories. My numbers were completely off. I am going to start fresh now and keep pushing on. This is a must watch for all YNAB users!
