I've been using it for 2 years and haven't had any issues. I have it linked to all of my accounts so at any time I can just open the app and see exactly how much I've got in retirement, checking accounts, mortgage balance, etc. You can also add your assets (house, car, etc) and it will give you your net worth each time you open the app.
That's awesome. Have you heard of anyone having issues with it? And are their any restrictions to linking accounts? Thanks for the response man.
There are some institutions that won't link but mint is adding more every week. it's just a great budgeting tool because it gives a complete picture of your spending and saving habits.
Awesome. I'll look into it further then.
It's an awesome budgeting tool.
Puts your financial ass in shape when you have those 1-2k food and alcohol months
Perfect. Exactly what I need to make sure I save at least a little haha.
I've used it for about a year. No complaints here. It can send out weekly budget updates to show you when you over spend and a snapshot of your weekly and monthly budget status.
Pretty useful site that consolidates everything overall.
Yeah. That's exactly what I'm looking for. Going to set it up tomorrow
didn't read others responses. I use it as well, you won't have any issues with places that have single layer identification (like American Express) but you will have issues if there's 2 layer (user, password, identify picture of a bird taking a shit or something) like Bank of America. I will say it is terribly depressing to get the weekly financial summary emails after a big weekend at a wedding or something, so I'm not sure how good it is as a means to curb spending.
Well that's annoying and what do you mean by issues? Synchronization?
you won't be able to get account data if you bank with BofA or some other 2 layer security layer using bank. reason is, mint stores your password & username and basically logs into the banks website for you each time and pulls the data. if your bank has another step, mint can't sync the data. never used it with BofA (don't bank with them), they're just an example I've heard that gives people issues. also, I've heard UBS brokerage accounts have issues.
Yea its pretty depressing when you realize how low your actual free cash flow is.
Tell me about it. I did a rough budget and the results weren't too appealing. Amazing how quickly money disappears
BofA works fine, been using it for almost a year now.
good to hear, my girlfriend has them and deleted the app because BofA wouldn't sync. that was more than 2 years ago so maybe she should re-install it.
point being just don't expect to have all of your banks work perfectly. I'm not suggesting you use banks based on whether they're mint-compatible, but just realize that there is a limit to the technology.
A couple years ago Mint had issues with BofA's SiteKey multi-layer verification. They have since remedied the problem and it now works fine.
Perfect
Great app, I use it.
Another interesting one worth checking out is Level. You enter in your income, bills, and savings and then the rest is just labeled "spendable" and it'll tell you how much you have left to spend each day/week/month. Very simplified approach to budgeting.
That's awesome. Do you prefer Mint to Level? I took a look at Mint and it seems pretty simplified and useful.
I've personally been using level more, recently. But I probably don't pay attention to either of them as much as I should and keep over-spending.
Fuck, I need an app that physically punches me in the face when I buy something stupid.
Capital One had 2 layer security and mint works fine. You just need to set up an access code that mint will use. I imagine most banks with 2 layer security have something like this.
That's what I read online. I'm setting mine up today and plan on using a bank account with a 2 layer security. i'll let everyone know how that goes.
I've been using Mint since 2008 and love it to track my spending. It is owned by Intuit (TurboTax, QuickBooks, etc.) so you can take comfort in knowing they take security seriously.
An alternative that I have been using more and more recently is Personal Capital. Mint is good for budgeting and tracking spending, but I find Personal Capital to be much better for investment tracking. I actually have both linked to all my accounts and find myself referring to both quite frequently. Also, Personal Capital's iPhone app is much better than Mint's.
Good luck with your analyst stint!
Thanks man. Yeah I've heard that Mint's investment tracking features are a little lacking. I'm not too worried about that part though because my investments (at least for now) are pretty simple and automated. I'll look into Personal Capital though.
I've had issues with it over the past 3 months. On one day of the month, it will make duplicate entries of every entry I had that month. I really love it but when that issue arises it makes using it worthless. My bank accounts are with PNC and I've heard that happens sometimes with PNC accounts.
It is the best invention ever. It is extremely userfriendly. My sister has like 6-7 credit cards, 2 debit cards and several investments and mint helps her to keep track of everything. I was simply impressed
Perfect. Thanks guys. It's always useful to draw on multiple experiences
