Do you find yourself pulling all of your hair out at the end of the month trying to pinpoint where all of your money has gone? I know that I do! Staying on a budget is HARD! Is there an easier way?
There is now!
The solution that I've found (and use myself) is Mint.com. Mint will track all of your spending from your regular bank account AND your credit cards. It automatically sorts your spending into catagories and enforces (or creates) your budget.
The interface is very simple and to the point. See the following screenshots (not mine of course):
Once you are signed up, you will get regular emails from Mint with updates on your spending. It's a hassle-free way to keep tabs on your family's budget.
Many people seem to have a problem giving their bank login info to Mint, but from everything I've read, they take security VERY seriously. If they evey get compromised, they are done. It's not worth it for them to take any risks.
If you don't care about all of the budget-keeping tools offered, it's also a great tool to see all of your accounts with one login. You no longer have to log into three or four different sites to see account balances, loan payments, etc. It's all here for you to see.
Also, if you have an iPhone, there is a great Mint app available (also free) to check all of your accounts on the go.
Check it out, it's a great free tool!
