Get Your Budget Into Mint Condition
Earlier this year my wife and I decided we would organize a monthly budget into a Google spreadsheet so we could both collaborate and make sure we stayed within our means. This worked for about 3 months because of the pain it was to manually review our monthly transactions and plug them all into the budget spreadsheet. I first saw Mint.com back when it launched as a beta site, but chose not to sign up on the service because I wanted to wait until it was out of beta. Well about 3 weeks ago I signed up on Mint.com an “intelligent online money management” (Mint’s About section).
There are so many very cool things about Mint.com, but the biggest thing for me is that I no longer have to spend 2 to 3 hours a month manually figuring out our budget. Signing up was extremely simple and having the site auto categorize my expenditures was amazing! This site is definitely in my top five cool sites!
