Mint.com Free Personal Finance Software
 |
| From Yummy Boy Mummy Saving Money! |
I found out about mint.com from Being Frugal is Fabulous in February. I am so thankful that this was shared! I am LOVING this all in one program! I get alerts each week letting me know what my account balances are (you can determine frequency if you select this option). I also get updates letting me know if a payment is coming due. No more having to rely on my brain to remember!
From Mint.com:
Mint is fresh, intelligent online money management. Not only is Mint free, it saves you money. While existing personal finance software packages require hours to set up, a passion for accounting (is that possible?) and hours of weekly maintenance, Mint is virtually effortless.
With Mint, you can achieve better online financial management in less than five minutes. After that, revolutionary, patent–pending Mint money management software does the rest, with virtually no more work required. It automatically pulls together your bank, credit union and credit card data, and provides up–to–date and amazingly accurate views of your financial—life from the big picture to specific details, in a friendly and intuitive way.
In addition, Mint goes beyond visibility and analysis providing personalized money–saving and money–making suggestions. Mint provides users an average of $1,000 in savings opportunities during their first session. Plus, Mint is proactive—alerting you when you are exceeding your personal budget, have a low balance, need to pay a bill, and more.
How Mint works
Mint is a modern, powerful, easy and secure Web–based solution for online financial management. And it’s free. You register anonymously using any valid email address, and then add the log–in information for the online bank, credit union, credit card and investment accounts you want to consolidate in Mint.
Mint connects to more than 7,500 US financial institutions. Your account information is updated daily. Mint automatically categorizes all your purchases, showing you how much you spend on gas, groceries, parking, rent, restaurants, DVD rentals and more, with amazing precision. Mint automatically analyzes and graphs your investment performance, showing you how you’re doing versus relevant market indicies like the S&P 500 and highlighting the fees you’re paying in each of your accounts. Mint’s advanced alerting system sends you email or SMS messages (your choice) on any unusual activity, low balances, fees and upcoming bills so you’re in constant contact with your money — effortlessly.
Mint goes way beyond just reporting and budget tracking. Using a patent-pending search algorithm, Mint constantly searches through thousands of offers from hundreds of providers to find you the best deals on everything from bank accounts to credit cards; brokerage accounts; and more. Mint’s suggestions are unique to you — as they’re based on your individual spending patterns. For example, if you have $20,000 in a bank account that’s earning no interest, Mint’s certain to find and recommend a high interest bearing savings account for you. Acting on that suggestion could give you an extra $900 in interest income over a year.
