## What Jamie wrote

Tammy and I have used YNAB for years to manage our personal finances and it works really well. A few years ago we started doing something similar to this article. We started structuring our budgets around the major entities in our life, and then by category. For example, every family member has a category. Cars have a category. House, cabin. It was a smart pivot to make in our planning.
