I've been a mint user for over 5 years and actually love it. The web ui isn't amazing, but it is pretty good. The IOS app is excellent and let's me quickly get a grip on my financials. I couldn't disagree more with the author of this post. I've often had mint send me alerts when I mix up something stupid and get low balances or forget to pay credit card bills. To me, mint is simply a life saver. It isn't something I use every day, but when I need it, it really helps. I'm about as big of a mint fanboi that there could be.
- antonpug 13y agoJust curious, how many accounts do you have linked to it?
- SEJeff 13y agoMe? Perhaps 10 total between certificates of deposits, IRAs, my work 401k, a credit card, and some savings accounts, along with my regular "main" checking account. It is really invaluable to figure out where I'm wasting money and can improve my spending habits.
- doctoboggan 13y agoI have to agree with you. I've been using it for years, ever since I started getting real amounts of money in my account. I only wish it would work with my 401k.
- klenwell 13y agoI agree. I use it for the same reasons. To give me a simple bird's eye view of my finances and to watch out for fraud. It's even more helpful with my grandmother's finances. My grandfather had handled their finances all his life. After his death, I set up a Mint account for her and it has been invaluable in both its convenience and in helping me contain various crises: overdrafts, missed bills, fraud, bad spending habits. Unfortunately, when it comes to money, seniors are sitting targets. Not to say there aren't things that could be improved. But it's a long way from suck.
