Beginning Balance

Finding Clarity in Difficult Situations with YNAB


Listen Later

Mark shares a difficult personal situation he and his family have been dealing with, that has signficant financial ramifications. Recently Mark's wife was diagnosed with cancer, and she has undergone chemo treatments and a litany of medical tests. As the medical bills continue to pile up, Mark finds himself having to float tens of thousands of dollars in costs while he waits to be reimbursed by their health sharing plan.

 

While this can be a very scary proposition, he has found peace and security in the YNAB process. Most importantly, Mark says, YNAB tells him the truth about his financial situation, neither catastrophizing nor softening the ramifications of unexpected large medical bills, and that clarity has been critically important to making good decisions and maintaining sanity.
