I find Mint useless I guess because I check my accounts weekly.
Most of the data received by email from Mint is not current. Mint will recognize my monthly salary one month and then target differently the next month.
Just not very useful to me. Others may have better success.

I was curious about Mint.com. Have you ever used their budgeting tools? If yes, how did you like it?
Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 🙂 🙂 🙂
Does anyone use any actual accounting software besides Quickbooks that would track expenses, pull in bank account information, etc? Something more than just a budget tracker?
Yes! We LOVE YNAB (You Need A Budget)! It’s excellent.
This is seriously exciting stuff 😉 I’m looking forward to taking a close look!
