Rule One: First Principles & Making Better Decisions Through Tradeoffs


Listen Later

Mark and Jesse revisit YNAB's Four Rules to explore whether there's a deeper, more universal concept underlying them. It's often been said that Rule One -- give every dollar a job -- is about aligning your money with your priorities. While that is true, there's a deeper truth. Rule One is really all about tradeoffs, or opportunity cost, in that when you give a dollar a job, it then ceases to do every other job which it could have done. The tradeoff reveals the priorities, or value set, of the budgeter.
