Pretty much just account linking to get the balances for all my investment accounts and for mortgage (honestly don't care much about checking/savings/credit) and to keep them automatically updated. Don't really care about anything around transactions or finer grained budgeting. like, i imagine there's people that really want that, but it feels like a different (huge) project. I guess I find I get some small value from mint tracking that stuff, I wouldn't be against that being supported (but i wouldn't want it to detract from the main point).
i don't think i would use pdf imports. i'm sure some would be fine with that, but it's not worth my time.
I probably wouldn't really trust you with my credentials to any of those accounts, like i begrudgingly would for intuit/mint, and i don't know the state of integration apis these days but maybe that, unfortunately, would mean that you'd need to integrate with someone else that I do trust with that (if all the things i cared about allowed me to give you read-only access without sharing passwords, that's fine).
getting rsu vesting schedule automatically would be a nice bonus, but at least schwab's handling of this seems pretty much like a second class citizen so wouldn't be surprised if it's rather impossible.
- scubakid 3y agoWhat's your experience been like using account linking in other tools? From what I hear, most of the aggregator services still have frequent enough issues that just taking 10-15 mins to plug your numbers in manually to a tool like PL once a month is sometimes less overall effort than trying to identify and debug why x, y, z accounts aren't syncing right this week. If there's a good solution out there that just universally works though, and wouldn't be a giant support/maintenance tar pit for a solo dev to take on, definitely point me in that direction :)
- ahahahahah 3y agoMy experience in the last 5 years or so it's been fine, I haven't had any issues that bothered me. I'm not going to waste my time trying to debug something that's not working. I can imagine that someone willing to waste their time doing that might also be willing to waste their time doing manual data entry.
