Mint - online money management
From the Mint website:
“Mint is the freshest, most intelligent way for you to manage your money online. Not only is Mint free, it saves you money. While existing personal finance software “solutions” require hours to set up, a passion for accounting (is that possible?) and hours of weekly maintenance, Mint is virtually effortless.
With Mint, you can be fully up and running in less than five minutes. After that, revolutionary, patent-pending Mint technology does the rest, with virtually no more work required. It automatically pulls together your bank, credit union and credit card data, and provides up-to-date and amazingly accurate views of your financial life - from the big picture to specific details, in a friendly and intuitive way.
In addition, Mint goes beyond visibility and analysis; providing personalized money-saving and money-making suggestions. Mint provides users an average of $1,000 in savings opportunities during their first session. Plus, Mint is accessible from your desktop, laptop or cellphone.”

editor’s note: I’ve been using mint for a couple of days now, and I’m really impressed at how easy it was to set up and use. The site is very functional and it does help me to keep track of my spending and finances. I can’t believe it’s free. Well done, Mint.

I can’t believe these guys managed to hook up all these big players in the industry. They must have some good backing.
It was so easy to enter in my info to add accounts. I just entered in my username and password for my financial institutions, and mint would get the info.
I also liked that they would go retroactively into my banking account. Most online programs I’ve used would simply start where you came in. But mint goes back about 90 days, and then it uses that data to find out where you’re spending.
Thanks for the comment, Bookkeeper.
