Mint.com

I came across a link to Mint.com today so I thought I would give it a try. So far, I really like it.

In less than a minute I was registered, logged in, entered my account information and had a complete picture of my financial situation. (I don't have credit cards, and only have two bank accounts, so it might take you a minute or two longer. lol)

I haven't even explored the whole site, but can tell you that already it has told me that I can save $103 a year by switching to a different cell phone company (It knows because I pay my T-Mobile bill with my debit card and Mint.com has a list of all of my transactions). It looks like you can set a budget amount for each category and get an email if you are close to going over that amount. It has broken down my spending, telling me exactly how much I spent on groceries (for example) which stores I spent it at and when I spent it.

I am going to spend some more time exploring the site and will report back.
