A Fresh Start in YNAB creates a brand-new Plan while keeping your accounts, categories, and targets — but removing your old transaction history. It can be incredibly helpful if you’re months behind, emotionally stuck, or tempted to quit budgeting altogether.

But it’s not always the best choice.

Sometimes keeping your existing YNAB Plan gives you powerful historical spending data, better year-over-year comparisons, and cleaner tax tracking.

Inside this tutorial, I walk you through:

• What a Fresh Start in YNAB actually does
• Who should (and shouldn’t) use it
• How to set targets before restarting so you don’t lose helpful data
• How to batch-categorize transactions to clean up faster
• What to check immediately after creating a new Plan
• How to simplify categories so your budget is easier to maintain
• Practical habit strategies to stay consistent with YNAB long-term

If you’re behind in YNAB, you are not failing. Falling off track is part of building any new money habit.

What matters most is showing up again — and choosing the option that makes it easier to keep going.

YNAB is powerful, but it works best when it fits your real life. Whether you fresh start or continue your current Plan, this video will help you reset in a way that feels calm, realistic, and sustainable.
