Have Alexa help you gain total control of your money! The YNAB Alexa Skill makes checking a category balance or recording new spending a breeze!

Never heard of YNAB? (Alexa pronounces it "Why Nab" and you should too.) It stands for You Need A Budget. It’s a powerful methodology coupled with award-winning software on the web, mobile, and now this companion Alexa Skill.

This is a companion skill for YNAB. It requires that you first set things up with YNAB at YouNeedABudget.com. Once you have have a YNAB account, have enabled the skill and linked your YNAB account, you are ready to budget like a pro.

To check a category balance:
· "Alexa, ask Why Nab What's the balance of Transportation?"
· "Alexa, ask Why Nab for the balance of Eating Out"
· "Alexa, ask Why Nab are we able to spend any money on Gifts?"
· "Alexa, ask Why Nab how much money do we have available to spend in our Gas category?"

To record new spending:
· "Alexa, tell Why Nab to record a new transaction."
· "Alexa, tell Why Nab to log 25 pounds and 64 pence in Eating Out from Checking."
· "Alexa, tell Why Nab I just spent 9 pounds and 1 penny."
· "Alexa, tell Why Nab I just received 10 pounds."
· "Alexa, tell Why Nab I received 5 pounds yesterday."

At any time you can say:
· "I'm done"
· "Help"
· "Start over"
· "Quit"

To get started, we'll ask you to securely sign in with your YNAB email and password and select a budget for Alexa to access. You can revoke this access at any time from the "My Account" page.
