Budgeting with Mint

[Franky.]

Have you ever used mint.com?

It's amazing to see the breakdown of where all our money goes. We spend an OUTRAGEOUS amount of money on food... like it's disgusting.

I do, but it hasn't really helped because it doesn't seem to have everything on it.
I use a spread sheet now, that way i can clearly see what's going where.

I love Mint.com. It's fantastic.

i tried using it a year ago probably... wasn't impressed... too much work i think.. maybe it's changed?

[GlitterQueen]

yes we use mint. we go over our eat out budget by like 100$ every month

[Never a *Just*]

Yes I have done it before. We spend a lot on food too. I need to start using it again.

I tried using it, but wasn't impressed.

It seems kind of confusing... But I think the more I use it the more I'll get the hang of it. Like.... if we cut down how much we spend on food (groceries, fast food, and restaurants) we could pay off a ton of our bills in no time It's embarrassing, and I can see now why we've both gained weight

I liked the way Mint consolidated all of my debts so I could see everything, but it didn't stay current. All the numbers were always 2 weeks behind so it would send me notices and reminders late. Now I just use my debit card for everything and track everything that way.

Yes we just started using Mint. So Far I like it I have had to make some changes, but I really like being able to look at the comparisons and keep and eye on things.
