Description

This course will teach you the Four Rules which make up the basis of the YNAB Method, a framework for handling money that has helped hundreds of thousands of people take control of their money, pay off debt, and live the life they want. The Four Rules are: 

  • Rule One: Give Every Dollar a Job

  • Rule Two: Embrace Your True Expenses

  • Rule Three: Roll with the Punches

  • Rule Four: Age Your Money

These Four Rules will help you transform your relationship with money. You'll learn how to prioritize your spending and saving, prepare for unpredictable non-monthly expenses, change your plan when your circumstances or priorities change, and increase the amount of time between earning and spending so you can have more breathing room and space for better decisions.

The Four Rules is the basis for the money management method behind the YNAB budgeting software. Thousands have used this software and this method to transform their money mindset. But you can apply these principles anywhere!
