Newly Mint

So I don't really intend for this blog to end up just being a list of various websites and services I've tried and like, but recently I've come across a few new things I feel like passing along.

The latest is a personal finance site called Mint. Mint is fantastic because it monitors my finances for me and gives me various analytical tools and displays to show me what I'm doing with my money. Switching from Quicken to Mint is akin to switching from traditional folder based email to searchable Gmail. Mint automatically figures out what categories my expenses fall under and uses graphs to illustrate spending patterns.

The exciting thing about Mint is that it's growing and changing quickly. New features and options are always being added. The other nice thing is that the user interface is incredibly intuitive. It gets you up and running quickly and easily.

Check it out.
