Tips Thread Personal Finance

[mahesh2k]

I see there are threads on GTD tips, recipes but not on personal finance. I maybe missing something in search. But how about thread on personal finance.

Just want to know the experience of other members on personal finance management or if any tips you have on that. What to avoid, and what to do.

+1! One of the absolute best.  The beauty of it is how simple and easy it is to get started and actually use the YNAB approach. Nothing esoteric or complicated. It's basic prudent money management (such as our grandparents used to practice) that makes even more sense to follow today. Wish I had something like this when I was first starting out.

You don't even need to get their software to benefit. They offer free webinars that will walk you through the YNAB methodology they've come up with. That's really all you need to use it.

I've bought several copies of this app. Mostly for relatives, plus an occasional young-un I happen to like and respect. The ones who made use of it are doing considerably better than the others because of it.

YNAB is cool.

I refer to simple dollars for some good tips on frugal personal finance tips.
