The previous version 4, YNAB4, was released in June 2012. Gain Total Control of Your Money. Stop living paycheck to paycheck, get out of debt, and save money faster with YNAB. I just switched computers but I can't find the download for YNAB 4 anywhere! I know support for it has ended, but we can't even download it anymore??? Anyone knows where it is? I followed some old links but they seem to have deleted or moved it.
