Mint.com

[much respected]

Anyone use this site? Its basically a site that consolidates any and all financial obligations and/or savings/checkings that you have onto one site. I'vejust started using it and I'm not sure how effective it is yet, but it has opened my eyes to how much I'm wasting money. Its a good tool to forceyourself to be more frugal if you get to see your money draining and get to see the cause of the drainage!

My wife and I have been using it for the past year. I think its great. Sorts all of our expenses and budgets automatically. I used to enter this info intoan excel spreadsheet. Its safe too because the site doesn't actually store any your financial information. Its just like a portal that displays it all atone time.

I've used both Mint and Quicken Online. Quicken Online has mobile access, but Mint doesn't. Mint does seem much more user friendly tho. Both arewinners and a great step towards financial stability.

Mint has a iPhone app if you use one.

They can't do anything with it, you only give them access to read it. The worse thing that could happen if someone hacks into your mint account would bepeople seeing how much you spent on socks.

no offense, but that's not very convincing.(soundslike their youtube testimonial in fact)
if they "hack" the mint.com database in a way that they can collect my cc/bank acct info... they'll do what they like, no matter what myagreement with mint.com states.
