I didn’t realize this had a name! I saved and splurged on a color analysis that would have absolutely been a wish. Definitely adding this to my spending plan!
Hannah makes learning YNAB fun. Love her energy and humour. I've only been using YNAB for a few weeks, but already it's making a difference, with money set aside for things coming up soon.
Oh, I'm SO GLAD!! YNAB will change your life. Being able to absorb it in a way that makes sense and doesn't overwhelm or confuse is so important!! Glad to hear it's sticking! 🌻 Hannah
Great use case for YNAB. I love your product and I find these types of use cases very helpful and interesting. I am a retiree and I realize that I am not exactly your target customer group, but have you thought about doing a video about how a retired person would use YNAB? Just door for thought.
That is great food for thought! Thanks for sharing!! I'll add it to my list of ideas, because you absolutely aren't the only one!! I appreciate the suggestion 🥳 🌻 Hannah
I love the Wish Farm! But I do like to keep it a little simpler when it comes to the number of categories. Instead of having a separate group and categories for the Wish List, I just use the notes section of each of my Wish Farm categories to write my wish lists in. When I accomplish one wish, I just refer to my list of wishes in the notes section and change the name of the category in the Wish Farm. It means I don't have to deal with hiding old wish categories or deleting them and recategorizing transactions. Of course, this means that my reports are showing wish farm activity as separate than if I had recategorized the transaction to a similar category elsewhere in my budget. But I'm okay with seeing how much of my additional or leftover income went to current wishes versus retirement savings, for example.
Ahhhh!! That makes sense! So you just track the small wishes on the small wish farm item's notes, the medium wishes on the medium wish farm item's notes, and the large on the large. Definitely simpler!! Sometimes I find it helpful to see all my wishes out in the open because every once in a while I realize I have a big reshuffling I want to do (aka: I realize I actually wanted the sneakers sooner than the mop, so I'll swap one out for the other), but I also appreciate a nice tidy YNAB! Definitely a smart new spin on the wish farm. Thanks for sharing! 🌻 Hannah
@YNABofficial Exactly, that's how I track them. :) And, I use cut and paste if I ever wish to rearrange wishes in my notes lists a bit or swap out what I'm currently saving for. It's great, though, that YNAB has so much flexibility, so we can all adjust things to be how we like them, i.e. for more visibility or for more simplicity. Thanks so much to y'all at YNAB for the great app and great videos you share with us! 👍
Howdy Steven! No problem-you're likely looking at a different target type! To turn the due date function off, make sure to be using the "Custom" target type and select the "I want to: have a balance of" target behavior. Here, you can toggle the due date on or off! 🌻 Hannah
I just hide them when I don’t need them any more. Some people prefer to do it the way described in the video to avoid having those extra categories hanging around.
Deleting the wish farm is just for cleaning up so your budget does not get cluttered with one-time-use categories. Of course you can hide it instead. Recategorizing the transaction is to better reflect the purchase (like Hannah did, electric mop is a household item).
@@hoshiro.exsharaen thanks. What I'm not getting is if it's deleted how will it show up under the re-categorized category later? Or is it just to know the total spent in a category later when I'm reflecting or looking at "money spent last month" etc?
@@Ineedcoffee17 because every transactions must have a category. YNAB will complain if we're trying to input a new transaction without selecting a category (it will show overspending). Deleting a category without recategorizing means all transactions under that category will be orphaned (no category), which will mess out budget. We can no longer trust our budget since there are uncategorized transactions. Where did the money come from to fund those transactions? That's why YNAB requires us to select a new category when deleting a category (recategorizing).
I am currently farming for an Indoensian course so that I can match my husband who speaks like a native (but isn't!). The extra money water might have to wait for after the holidays, and after the medical tests that will hopefully show there is no more epilepsy in the house!
Oh wow!! Sounds like quite the year for you guys! Best of wishes on everything, and hope you have the HAPPIEST of holidays! You deserve some rest and relaxation 😌 🌻 Hannah

hi hannah
I'm afraid I don't have the option to turn of the "Due by Date" function - Not shown in my interface in my computer. Anyone with the same issue?
Howdy Steven! No problem-you're likely looking at a different target type! To turn the due date function off, make sure to be using the "Custom" target type and select the "I want to: have a balance of" target behavior. Here, you can toggle the due date on or off!

What does deleting and re-categorizing do?
I just hide them when I don’t need them any more. Some people prefer to do it the way described in the video to avoid having those extra categories hanging around.

The way I see it, the button should say “recategorize” instead of “delete”. But delete is what we’re trying to do.
