Some of that too is eating out during the weekends, my wife and I like to try out new restaurants every Saturday night so I am thinking those have to be cut!

Re: MINT.COM IS AWESOME!!

I would yep.  You would have much more money to your name, or gaining interest in a retirement type fund.   How about doing the new restaurant thing once every few months?

Mint.com seems pretty secure to me. I use it and I've read a few reviews on it as well. It's safe.

Re: MINT.COM IS AWESOME!!

I've been a member of Mint for nearly 2 years now.  In that 2 years, I've never been notified by Mint of any breach of their security.  In the same time, I've hadMULTIPLE from Bank of America, resulting in new debit cards and what not.  You also never provide Mint with any real sensitive info, such as your SS#, birthdate, or address.  You limit which banks you give them access too.  If the banks didn't think Mint was safe, they wouldn't allow Mint to aggregate the information.

 

 

Mint is now owned by Intuit, same makers of Quicken.  They are well reviewed by many top places.  I feel comfortable.

It's read-only access. They can't actually make any changes to your accounts.

 

I use it too, but sometimes the pending transactions don't always work like they're supposed to. And if you have to change cards while you use Mint, it double-counts them.



Cards: CitiForward for Students (2K, opened 8/2009), Discover it (2K, opened 7/2010), AMEX BCE (1k, opened 12/2010), Capital One Quicksilver (4.5k, opened 11/2011), Chase Freedom (1.5k, opened 8/2014)

AMEX Platinum (NPSL, AC arrangement, added 12/2011), Citi AAdvantage AMEX (9k, AU, backdated to 9/2008)

Scores: TU 667, EQ 651

Re: MINT.COM IS AWESOME!!

Mint seems rather secure to me.  I am not a super computer genius but if someone were to get my log in password and user name for mint.com they would only be able to see how broke I am since you can not transfer and money or get user names or passwords for accounts you have set up through mint. 

 

I personally love loggin into mint and seeing my net worth get larger over time.  I hated flipping between my various loggins to see how I am doing from month to month and trying to see how I am doing on a savings goal was a pain.  Seeing that net worth line keeps me on the strait and narrow when I even think about spending money.

Re: MINT.COM IS AWESOME!!

I've been using Mint.com and Pageonce for a while.  Both have their own benefits.  I like Mint's ability to analyze one's net worth and where your money goes each month.  I do wish it was a little more customizable... I'd like to adjust my monthly budget so it appears more in line with what I spend each month.  Pageonce does give me my available credit amounts which the other doesn't.  They are both GREAT at providing alerts to let you know when you have a payment due or when something on one of your accounts has changed.
