Welcome to Round Up!
- May 6, 2024 -
Hello, and welcome to Round Up! When Ben M was in high school, he gave a talk to a group of teenagers. One kid came up to him afterward and said, “Wow, that was really good.” That affirmation, delivered at a time when Ben doubted whether he had the ability to share his ideas in front of others, changed how he thought about his career options (and we’re all benefiting). This week: the power to change your financial future by acknowledging your small wins today.
PS – Fill out our brief survey and someday you might see your YNAB story written in the stars (or at least in our marketing)!
