I'm trying the free trial of YNAB, got a second month free by using an affiliate link, so I've got 64 days to decide if it's worth my time. I've always done my own budgeting in a spreadsheet, but I have this habit where I "fall off the wagon" as far as manually tracking/entering. I'll do great for six months, maybe even a year, then go months where I can't bear to type it all in, and as the transactions pile up and it gets further and further along, it's so intimidating that I give it up for six months or a year, and start the cycle over.
I MUCH prefer YNAB's method of assigning money to a bucket as it comes in (compared to other budgeting methods) because this is the way I've always done it myself. I'm also trying out Mint right now, and the auto-imports and setting up rules for classifying transactions is working great for me. It's much less overwhelming.
My problem is, YNAB doesn't have auto-import working for my bank (Mint does!). It's a very small bank (two branches, that's it), and I did "suggest to add" it via their link. Does anyone have any experience with YNAB actually adding a bank they've suggested? Will I be waiting forever & hoping, or do they have a good track record of adding banks upon suggestion? If I could get this one thing, it would be exactly what I want/need.
