Free Financial Management Tools from Mint.com 9 comments
Mint.com is without a doubt the coolest web site I have seen in a while. It amounts to free financial management tools. The site already has over 100,000 users and helps manage about $3 billion. The web site has received rave reviews from Forbes as well as other sources.
To use the web site all you have to do is pick a username and a password and then enter in bank account information. Mint then generates tons of stuff for you to look through. It makes pie graphs to break down spending habits, shows spending trends and can even create budgets for you to stick to.
After graduating I started saving all of my receipts to put into a giant excel spread sheet, but this is a million times easier and better. You can delete an account you make, so I urge everyone, at least give it a chance. I guarantee it improves your financial management.
*If you are worried about security, read the Forbes link.
