In order to avoid that, I cover the overspending with a different budget category in order to not impact the amount available for budget next month. It gets a bit trickier when the reimbursement is from a checking/savings account. In this situation, YNAB will take money out of the next month’s budget to compensate for the overspending. This works great if your reimbursements are on a credit card account. With a quick glance, I can tell how much is outstanding and who owes what. I like it because it creates an easily accessible place for tracking reimbursements (it’s in the sidebar). Here’s a short video of what it looks like. It was initially a little confusing to understand, but as one commenter said, it made a lot more sense when I went through the steps in my YNAB account. It involves creating an off-budget tracking account and transferring any reimbursable expenses to it. However, I did some research and found a solution I liked. This was the deal-breaking feature for me because it makes it difficult to track reimbursable expenses. YNAB won’t let you move to the next month with a negative balance. I could carry it over to the next month as a negative balance (my preferred method) or let YNAB automatically bring the category balance to zero (by taking money from what I have available to budget for the next month). I know that’s (typically) not good budgeting practice but you’d be surprised how many valid uses there are for it! For example, expenses you plan on being reimbursed for. YNAB removed the ability to rollover a negative category balance to the next month. Can’t Rollover a Negative Category Balance

Just a bummer it took longer than expected for search and reports. The good news is all those features have been added.

No manual import of bank statements (added June/July 2016).No reporting capabilities (added October 2016).No ability to search transactions (added October 2016).They’ve also added this ability to the mobile apps. You just click on a category balance and tell it how much money to move where. It wasn’t a terrible process in YNAB 4, however, YNAB makes it even easier. Moving money from one category to another is a pretty common task. But more often than not, I had the same balances so reconciliation was a breeze. If it’s off, the reconciliation process is similar to YNAB 4 and requires some manual work. It’s as easy as clicking Reconcile Account and then Yes if the account balance lines up with what your financial institution says. The direct import feature now makes reconciling accounts much quicker (assuming you’ve kept on top of adding transactions as they happen). In YNAB 4 you used to have to reconcile each transaction individually. It removed a lot of manual calculations I used to do in order to figure out how much to save each month. Monthly Funding Goal (e.g., $50/month for car maintenance).I say I want to save X dollars by Y date and YNAB tells me how much to save each month. Similar to the above but with a due date. This is useful when you have a larger expense or savings goal you’re working towards (e.g., down payment on a house or an emergency fund). YNAB makes it a lot easier to save towards specific category goals. This was probably one of the more common knocks against YNAB 4–it didn’t automatically import transactions from your financial accounts. It’s genuinely my honest, unbiased experience using both apps.
