Jesse Mecham: You Need a Budget

Jesse Mecham is the CEO and Founder of You Need A Budget* (YNAB). He’s on a mission to help people stop living paycheck to paycheck, get out of debt, and save more money. He recently released his book by the same name, You Need a Budget*, a Wall Street Journal Bestseller.

Key Points

  • Be as vigilant with your money as you are with your time.
  • Constraints allow us to be creative. When your options are endless, you’re frozen.
  • Most people’s monthly budgets underestimate actual long-term expenses.
  • Your emergency fund should be for more than just things you forgot to plan for.
  • Budgeting is about looking forward and actively adjusting.

The Four Rules for Budgeting:

  1. Give Every Dollar a Job
  2. Embrace Your True Expense
  3. Roll With the Punches
  4. Age Your Money

Bonus Audio

  • Handling allowances with your kids

Resources Mentioned
