YNAB

Tap a star to rate

You Need A Budget teaches you to allocate every dollar before spending it. Link your bank accounts and watch transactions sync in real time, then assign each expense to a budget category so you know exactly where the money goes. The app forces intentional spending decisions, which many retirees find helpful when income shifts from a paycheck to Social Security and savings.

What sets YNAB apart is the free live workshops and one-on-one support calls included with your subscription. You get access to instructors who help you implement the zero-based method and adjust your budget as your retirement needs change.
