Our favorite personal budgeting tool


With various bank accounts, credit cards, and online payment plans, it’s increasingly difficult to keep track of where your money goes every month.  That’s why we were excited to discover Mint.com, a free budgeting tool that we’re using ourselves.  Mint hooks up to your bank accounts and credit cards to automatically categorize your expenses and income.  You can sign up for weekly or monthly updates on your spending.  You can also design weekly budget goals by expense category and receive notifications when you have reached your budget limit.  Mint also has a credit-checking service that, although not free, is a great resource for monitoring your credit score and resolving any credit score disputes. While we have not had any problems with Mint in the past, remember to monitor your accounts and change your passwords often to ensure you money’s safety.
