If you're like most people, your income varies from month to month. Maybe you have a full-time job, but you also do some freelance work on the side. Or maybe your hours at work fluctuate from week to week. Whatever the case may be, YNAB can help you budget your variable income so that you always have enough money to cover your expenses.
Here's how it works: when you get paid, enter the amount into YNAB as Income for Future Months. Then, when you need to spend that money in a future month, simply transfer it over to that month's budget. This way, you can make sure that your variable income is always being used in the most efficient way possible.
Of course, this system only works if you're diligent about entering all of your income and expenditures into YNAB on a regular basis. But if you are, it can be a helpful tool for managing your finances and making ends meet each month.
