I am writing about Mint.com again today because I was telling a few people about it earlier this week. I had the chance to review Mint.com for The New york Daily Newsabout 4 months ago. I also wrote about it for Savings.com HERE.
Since it is heading into the Holiday season and people tend to watch what they are spending trying to make the money last for Christmas, this is a really good tool to see where your money is going.
Mint.com is easy, FREE and fast to set up. It paints a clear picture for you of your finances, whether or not you want to know 🙂 This is what reader Danielle said last time:
“This site is really cool. I’ve already put all my information in and sat down with the hubby to show him how much we’re spending on fast food and snacks (HOLY COW!). It’s a great way to show you where all of your money is going because even though I diligently watched my bank statements, I never REALLY realized how much we spend on gas, groceries, fast food, etc. Really cool. Thank you!”
