conversations.value: In 2003, Jesse married his sweetheart, Julie. With seven semesters to go in the Accountancy graduate program at Brigham Young University, Jesse knew their meager earnings would have to do some stretching. As a result, he created a unique money management system. It worked so well, he officially founded YouNeedABudget.com (YNAB) in 2004, and started selling his programearning extra income for his growing family. After graduation, Jesse worked as a certified public accountant, but continued to sell YNAB on the side. Eventually he left the day job in order to focus on his business full-time. YNAB is used world-wide and can be found on Amazon.com, the Intel App-Up Store, the Apple store, and the Android Marketplace. In September 2010, Jesse wrote a companion story to the software, also titled You Need a Budget. The program was recently named winner for Best Windows Personal Finance Software in About.com's Reader's Choice Awards for 2011 and Best Desktop Personal Finance tool on Lifehacker.com. Jesse enjoys working from home, playing golf, taking his wife on weekly dates, and keeping up with their four (almost five!) kids.
