You can also still buy it on Steam, and get a key that works with the non-steam version.
Any opinions on where this any good for someone self-employed, or is it more aimed at those with a regular income?-tomos (January 02, 2016, 03:48 PM)

It's great for folks who are self-employed! That is, if you follow the four principles of the YNAB method.

I wrote an email to YNAB support voicing my disapproval of the new subscription model. Part of the response I received included a link to this blog post which explained why they're changing to the subscription model:

Another part of the response I received said:
we’ll support YNAB 4 officially through 2016 and unofficially for as long as possible after that.

True to a point. But not really. It's a smoke screen, IMO. There are several other business models other than the upgrade every two years model.

According to this post, "YNAB 5 Is Not For Me,"
It's supported for bug fixes until 2017.

though not sure of the source of that info. But the rest of the article is an interesting read as well (contains a short review of alternatives).

Both of those statements say the same thing, don't they?
