Clark Howard has mentioned this website before as a nice way to see everything at once, financially. Are there any users here? Opinions?

Try a search in this forum - there was a thread on this going yesterday.

We just started using it on the 1st and we are liking it so far. It seems really easy to use.

Great - if they have all of your accounts. They do not have my main checking account available so I constantly have a negative worth and this has gone on for over a year without being corrected so I have stopped using them. If they have all of your accounts they are great.

For a free service, it is awesome. You can create a budget, and it will track your spending by using your bank and credit cards web access. It will automatically catorgorize your purchases, but you can easily go in and change them if it is wrong.

My bank wasn't included at first, but I let Mint know that they weren't available and in about 6 weeks I was able to add them.

Is it the best out there, probably not, but it is the best free service for sure.

For a free service, it is great. I have used it and have the iPhone app. In the end, I was too much of a budget nerd and needed something a little more in depth. I now use YNAB (You Need A Budget) and I LOVE it. There is a fee for YNAB though. If you're looking for something free, then Mint is definitely a great way to go. Good luck!

I use mint and am very happy with it. Previously I tracked everything on an excel spreadsheet. Mint is better as it is linked to my bank account.

So far I LOVE Mint.com. I have never had everything so together in one view before.

I love it! You can even tag things that you need for your taxes. I've been using it 16 months and it had made my life so much easier.
