PSA: Mint

Hey, I don't know if any of you know about Mint.com but it is awesome.  It is a site that lets you keep up with all of your money, transactions, budgets, goals, and everything.  It links up to all of your accounts.  H is anal retentive when it comes to money so it has been awesome for us.  It also keeps us in budget and we don't spend over what we have allotted.  Some of you might like it so I thought I would spread the word.

Re: PSA: Mint

  • Thank you, thank you! I will definitely check it out. H and I have been doing an unofficial budget every month, but I would love to get something more concrete. Thanks again!

  • Ooh awesome! That's exactly something that I was looking for.
  • Question though...

    Have you been using this for awhile? And your bank accounts and stuff are ok?  I'm always a little leery about putting my bank info in things but it looks legit.  Just checking :)

  • I tried using this site a while ago (maybe a couple years?) and liked the idea of it, however it wasn't in full-sync with my main bank (US Bank).  So, in the end, it didn't work for me because a budget is kind of all or nothing, right?  If it can't keep track of everything correctly, then it's inaccurate.  I do think that they are better about this relationship now, but I haven't tried it since.

    Anyone have any feedback on this aspect?  H and I are also budgeting, but struggling because it's some "work" to do it every month and mint.com would solve this if their glitches are all worked out now.

  • We haven't had any problems with having our accounts synced up to Mint.  We used it back when it was under Quicken so we have been using it for a long time.  I don't know about US Bank, we have Chase and we are syned up with no problem.  Everything has been accurate for us, though.  We love it, I'm not great with money and it has kept me in line and FI is crazy about money so he is gets to keep tabs on me.
  • LOVE Mint!?

    I haven't had any issue with my bank accounts syncing up (I have 5th3rd), but I can not for the life of me get one of my ccs on there. Not that there's ever a balance so I just go along without it, but I'd like to have that credit available for my summary. This cc company has been bought and sold a few times in the last decade. Lame.?

    I look at it monthly, I don't stalk our purchases. I just need to know every month that we're saving more than we're spending and paying off the ccs, and it's SO nice to have all of that info (except the one damn cc) in one place.

    And I have had it for a while and my info has been totally safe. ?
