I figure I’ll do something like this every so often.

What has been a category you created that really became useful to you or provided unexpected value?

    Its hard to pick just one… I break down my paycheck by gross, taxes and insurance. It really helped when my other half got a new job and was going over benefit packages. It felt awesome showing how much I spent each month and even used memos to further break down medical dental and vision.

    😅 then again I’m salary and can just duplicate my paycheck transactions so splitting my paycheck into categories is much easier.

      Oh my god! I do this myself but outside of YNAB in a spreadsheet and keep YNAB to post-deductions budgeting. It never even crossed my mind to do it all in YNAB. So do you use a “work” account that manages the deductions?

        Nope, here is the Nick True video where I got this from using his method. The segment is about 7 minutes and explains it much better than I can 😅
