I'm not sure I have enough finances to utilize it :happysad:

 

They use Yodlee (I think) to store login credentials and log in to your bank accounts, so no login info is actually stored within Mint.com. Yodlee provides the login back-end services for a number of banks websites, like Wellsfargo. It is obviously more risky to entrust one provider -- no matter how good their security is -- with all of your login credentials, but I feel like the risk is small and worth it for the ease of use and ability to aggregate all of my accounts in one place. Most banks/credit cards will cover you in the event your account gets hacked anyway, though obviously you'll have to do some legwork to get all your money back.

I also have a pretty good handle on my day-to-day finances, so I use Mint more for long-term tracking of budgets and expenditures. Like now I'm trying to pay off some CC debt, so I used Mint's trends feature to see where I was spending the most money and what I could cut out.

 

I'm worth -$255.00 :wtc:


quite literally worthless.

 

i find mint.com useful for budgeting purposes. i really had no idea where i was spending my money before mint. i don't really care about what my net worth is.

 

I use Quicken 09 instead.

 

Is it free to use? :hsugh:

 

qft

Although, I use geezeo to track all my checking account transactions since my online banking only provides me two months of transaction history.
