I'm Ben. And I'm Ernie. And you're listening to Budget Nerds.
Hi friends, Ernie here.
I wanted to jump in quick and give a little intro to this episode. Way back in September 2024, Ben and I attended YNAB Fan Fest in Salt Lake City, Utah. And the purpose was to celebrate YNAB's 20th anniversary. It was a fantastic event. There were probably 175 of us YNABers there. And it was so good to meet and talk with you folks, to hear your YNAB stories. And the other thing that Ben and I got to do was participate in the program. They gave us probably 20 or 30 minutes on stage, and we decided it would be really cool if we interviewed YNABers about their YNAB wins. So we brought up Tisha and Katie and heard all about their YNAB wins, and that's what we're sharing with you today. I hope you enjoy it.
What happened at YNAB Fan Fest 2024 and why is this episode recorded live?
And if you want to see the video version, be sure you hop on over to our YouTube channel. And the other thing I wanted to talk to you about quickly is the 2025 FanFest Tour. We're doing three more of these, and I'm inviting you to join us. So we're doing San Diego, April 26th, and you can buy tickets for that event right now. Head on over to YNAB.com. backslash events. We'll have a link in the description there and get your tickets. We're also doing Minneapolis June 13th. Those tickets are also available. Get them right now. And then the third and final FanFest tour stop of 2025 is New York City. That's going to be in the fall. And you can sign up to be updated of when those tickets are going to be available.
Ben and I plan on being at all of these. There will also be other YNAB personalities there. It's going to be a fantastic time. It's going to be even bigger and I think better than Salt Lake City. So please get your tickets right now. We would love it if you joined us at these FanFest events. All right. Enjoy the episode.
All right, it is now my honor to welcome to the stage probably the most niche celebrities in Utah at this moment, your friends and mine, Ben and Ernie, the Budget Nerds.
All right. We're actually doing this live. OK. Well, I'm Ben. And I'm Ernie. This is Budget Nerds. You are not alone. You know, I was just thinking that statement is more true today than it's ever been. And I love it. It's been so much fun talking to you all, not through a screen, but actually face to face. And yeah, it's just wonderful. I can't believe this is my job. I do a lot of things at YNAB. Lindsay can tell you I've done everything. But my very favorite thing I've ever done is get on and talk to my friend for an hour every two weeks about the thing I like to talk about the most. So I just love what I do and I love that you're all here to talk.
And I just want to say y'all are my people. Yes. I've been a part of a lot of groups in my life, and seriously, no group is as exceptional as you are. You're so smart, good-looking, funny. I mean, honestly, though, like, you mean the world to me. I think the most of you. I really do respect you, and I love this community, and I just feel so lucky to be a part of it. So thank you.
Wow.
So. We thought, we were like, what should we do? Because we have half an hour. So we can, I mean, that's not enough time.
That is nowhere near enough time.
But we thought, like, should we just do like a Budget Nerds episode? But we thought, today's about the community. So what better way to honor the community than to bring on a couple of you guys and interview you about your YNAB wins, which I think is the best part of the podcast. So Tisha and Katie, are you here? Come on.
Katie.
How can I get tickets for YNAB Fan Fest 2025 and what cities are included?
Come on down. Yeah, come on down. All right. I'm going to give you the mic, Katie, and you'll sit over here.
Thank you.
So Tisha and Katie were very kind. I think you all got the email like, hey, you want to come up on stage in front of 200 people? And several of you said yes, which I was shocked by. But yeah, you guys have some interesting stories. And so we thought we'd share. So Tisha first.
The easiest yes ever.
So I think Tisha first, actually. Tell us about what money was like before you started Windup and how you found us.
