Anyone use mint.com?
I'd been hearing about it for a while now and it was a clicky link in something else i was reading earlier today so i checked it out. I like it and think DH and i should use it!! But DH is a bit more paranoid since he's gone thru some identity theft/credit card charges stuff. (i've gone thru credit charges that weren't mine too, but no one has opened a card in my name like they did with DH) He doesn't trust putting in our account numbers. But we have Life Lock so i feel 100x safer! And mint.com has been getting rave reviews...
DH and i need to get our finances in order so we can get out of debt and start saving money! And we need to stick to a budget!
TIA!
Re: Anyone use mint.com?
I love love love mint.com! I really do.
pros: all of your finances/accounts are gathered into one place so you don't have to visit 12 different sites to check on all your accounts/balances. you can create custom budgets, custom categories for certain types of spending. review spending/income by month, year, category. I could go on and on.
cons: if you check your checking account daily - mint.com won't show the 'pending' items, only things that have finally gone through, so mint.com would be about a day behind. but....kind of a minor thing.
I really feel like it's very safe and secure. I know I read up a lot about them before using it. Plus you can set it up to get emails or text messages if you have spending over a certain amount or unusual spending which could be even more helpful in catching accidental charges, etc. I know my DH uses the email/text feature and its great for him. Plus, mint.com is so pretty to look at - design wise its so much better than quicken. It makes sense for the financially challenged and is easy to use.
