Or anyone else have a budgeting software that works for them. I have quicken which is way too much info. I need something simple to start out with. And has anyine ever used a "life coach". DH makes a fair amount of money but at the end of the month, there's noting to show for it. I'm really tired of living like we did when we were 20. I'm ready to be a grown-up about money!!!!!!!

So any advice, hint,etc... Bring them on.

Yep, YNAB and I bought the Pro version. It worked wonders for us. It has tutorials with the program so you can be walked through various ideas that the program uses. It now comes with a book that you can download with the software's guiding principles. I found it all tremendously helpful and it showed me the way to apply the well intentioned money strategies that we were always trying to implement, but not able to stick with successfully.

No, that wasn't what I was implying :) I just knew because I got it on your recommendation a while ago, so I just happened to know the answer to her question to you LOL!
