I love the latest episode on ADHD. It was so helpful and comforting to hear so much of what I have been struggling with described so clearly !

Not a fan of the odd new intro music, but love the show overall. So many good tips! One thing, I wish they would edit the audio more. In the latest episode on mistakes in YNAB, it sounded like someone was emptying the dishwasher in the background! Very distracting! Surely, someone can clean that background noise up in editing!

I’m a faithful YouTube viewer of the Budget Nerds, but sometimes it’s better to listen so I can get stuff done! Ben and Ernie are so great - we fell on hard times recently and I was thinking of having to cancel my YNAB subscription but then I thought about missing out on the connection point with Budget Nerds and I made it happen. It’s always worth it, YNAB is life changing, but Budget Nerds help a lot!!

I like both hosts and they explain things well. Easy to follow and keep subscribed but wish the YNAB team could come up with more creative topics or a new format.
