Last week I signed up with Mint, a money management site. I was immediatly smitten when I saw the sexy pie chart that graphed out spending habits from my checking account. I can now track my 401k, savings, checking and credit card accounts all in one place and be as OCD about it was I want

When you first log in you are presented with a main dashboard where you can see a quick snapshot of what your money’s been doing: recent account activity, budget trends, alerts, balances, etc. From there you can dig deeper and view a detailed list of recent transactions, balances and spending trends. In my opinion its just as powerful as Quicken with all the bells and whistles and without all the confusion and complexity. So if you want to kill some time this weekend, why not take 20 minutes, set up an account and refocus on your financial goals? I had a hard time resisting all of those pretty graphs and believe it or not, actually have FUN using it. Go figure?!
