Default anyone use "mint.com"

it's an financial aggregator like quicken or MS money but it's online and it will automatically grab your data from your bank, credit cards, 401k, stocks etc...

what's your experience, good, bad, indifferent? what about the security aspect?

What is the purpose of it? And it "grabbing my data" would not appeal to me.

basically you can see

what you owe to various credit cards
what you spend your money on
create a budget and it tracks your spending
see your stocks
alerts you when a credit card payment is due
watches if there is unusual activity on your accounts

etc.... basically from one site you can see your entire financial portfolio

I agree Lainey, I don't think I'd download my entire financial profile to some internet site.

Trust me, JT. We have no people.

We just spin a little wheel to decide what to do with our wealth.

Usually it lands on "pay bills", sometimes it lands on "buy Lainey new shoes".

You can trust me when I tell you we don't have "people."
