Stop Guessing and Start Saving!
It's getting even easier every day for people to track their expenses and perform the basic budgeting tasks that are so essential for the long haul and financial success. One of the newest budgeting software packages around is Mint. The best part about it? It's absolutely free!
What is Mint? How does it work?
An introduction to Mint.com Money
Mint will automatically pull transactions from your bank accounts as they happen each day, assigning them to categories and spending areas.
Mint Dashboard View:

You can set up a variety of alerts to warn you when bills are due, account balances are low, or unusual purchases take place.
Mint has also recently added a way to specify a budgeting amount for each category as well, making seeing where your money has gone as easy as logging in.
After a while, Mint begins to offer you ways to save money with the current products you use. For example, if I have a credit card at 18% interest, Mint may know of one that gets the same or similar rewards and is at 12% interest.
Basically, Mint does all the notification, alerting, comparison shopping, and tracking for your personal budget life. Not a bad deal for being free!
