I like the budgeting info, the graphs, investment tracking, etc. I had trouble with ING for a while, but finally got that resolved. I switched to MINT from Full View by Fidelity, when I was kicked off because I was no longer a customer. I like free, and MINT is the best one. I have checked PageOnce, Wasabe, Yodlee and a couple more but haven't found one as good yet. I have used MINT for over a year now, and really like it.

Are people thinking only of the past? That property tax check you have to write in December for 5 grand; don't you want to see how that will affect your balance in the future? Don't you want a check register to see if you can add an extra check to your mortgage each month? No check register.

As for everyone who is scared about the POA and your passwords. if you make it a habit to check on your stuff daily you will notice a charge you didnt make and can then freeze that account for fraud with very little if any responsibility on your part. As for the POA it is only limited which is limited to allowing them to access your accounts not transfer money and make online purchases.

I downloaded the app for my iphone when I found mint.com... but...before I signed up completely...or gave any bank info...I read the part of the terms and policies before doing so. I didn't like the part of limited Power Of Attorney. Acting as an agent on my behalf. I didn't sign up...I then realized, its my life, my fincances, and my problems in spending. It was time to take control of it and not let it control me. This world is so "lets make it easy", well...why make it hard in the first place and then depend on someone or something else to get me out of my irresponsibile choices. This software sounds great!!! But it won't cause me to make much better choices with my $. What needs to be understood is; why am I making poor choices to begin with and fix that problem, then the rest will correct itself. US Citizens always live life by putting bandaids on every problem, from healthcare to personal fincance/credit. We need to take more responsibility in our lives and understand whats responsible for the issue before you feel the need to bandaid it. Sorry for the rant, but its so frustrating when I don't do what I know I need to. I at least feel I made the right choice 'for me' by not signing up this time around. Its not the fault of, but if my parents would have been more proactive in teaching me how money worked as a kid, it would have helped. I have to take responsibility for it now and for my kids. I will now focus more on them and teaching them $ principals...guess this was a good thing that came along. Thanks mint.com, my kids will now be wiser so they may not have to use your services. :-)) (this is in no way meant to be offensive to readers who use or would like to use the service. This is only a personal opinion and choice, but something for those reading to think about!) Best Wishes! I read most posts…
