At Antfood, we immediately fell in love with the team, company and mission of YNAB. We wanted to bring the magic of YNAB as a product and way of being to life through a music, sound design and lyrics and help kinds of people manage their money to build the life they want to live.

A foley cup pour with a celebratory trumpet flourish speaks to the simplicity and positivity of the YNAB philosophy. Money is stressful. It’s not about austerity but about making every dollar work for you. Because when your budget aligns, you can live your best life.

Money is stressful. It’s not about austerity but about making every dollar work for you. Because when your budget aligns, you can live your best life. We composed an entire song to embody the brand ethos with humor and an earnestness as a love letter to YNAB’s loving fans and to bring new audiences into the power of YNAB.

So Spendful

Lyrics

I get paid every other week

No matter what I do, I can’t seem to make these two ends meet

Seems like my money’s flyin’ away

I stopped buying lattes but

I couldn’t get through the day!

I wanna worry less

I’d rather worry about Spendfulness

And not my money

I wanna get out of debt

I wanna stop regret, and shame, and guilt about my money

You gotta give every dollar a job

And then you get Spendfulness

You get Spendfulness

Dale trabajo a cada dólar

Make your money work

Well then you’re gonna get Spendfulness

Then you’ll be so Spendful

BIG TEXT?
