It’s that time of the week. Since some of you may be suffering from the stock market crash and the economy issues – I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone (wha-hat is up with that saying? Why not: “Bake two different kinds of cakes in one pan” or something more peaceful and delicious? Anyway.) This week’s item is not only free of cost, it will also help you spend more wisely.
Behold…MINT.COM
Worth: Abso-freaking-lutely FREE! Not only is this completely free – it will also HELP you with your finances. Score.
Works For: Anyone who has money! Also, if you should/do budget, keep track of their money, or just pay attention to your cash flow.
What I Love:
1. It compiles all my accounts into one place – my savings account, checking account, credit card, and student loans are all there. It calculates your net worth based on your assets and debts. I had to get a smslåndirektutbetalning.se and it was able to add that into my debts. (Which is scary. I’m negative. Darn student loans!) 2. It sends me emails when I have bill due soon – or when I go over my budget. Oops.
3. Speaking of budget, it creates one for you based on past spending – you can chang
e it however you like and it’ll keep track for you.
4. You can see how much you spend on groceries or eating out or gas each month with an interactive pie chart (see right) or how much you’ve spent at Whole Foods in the past week/month/year. (I cringed a little.)
5. I’m kind of a numbers dork – so I like that you can even compare your spending with other people in another city or state. Clevelanders sure do like their Target!
