Mint is a new Web 2.0 finance management site. These sites are a dime a dozen but I saw this one on lifehacker a while back and they gave it a rave review so I decided to check it out. I have to say I was quite impressed. Setting up my account was very easy and within minutes they were showing me spending trends, total debt etc.... That said I stopped checking it for a while but I noticed their ad on my AdSense account so I logged back in and they've made significant updates in the past few weeks. One that particularly caught my eye was on the Spending Trends screen they not only show you what industry you spend most of your money at (ie. food) but they list the places out by name so I can see that in the last month I've spent almost $40 on coffee...
I'm going to check out their budgeting tool in the next couple of days. This could become the tool I've been needing to help get me on track and keep me there. Stay tuned...
