As a follow-up to my posting about Personal Finance Software, I wanted to share an interesting nugget regarding one of the most popular: Mint.com. If you haven’t already heard, Mint.com will be acquired by Intuit (makers of Quicken, QuickBooks, and TurboTax).
As I mentioned in my previous post, my personal test drive of Quicken Online Edition (QOE – Intuit’s “Mint” competitor) was less than thrilling. Most of my financial institutions were not compatible with QOE. I also found the interface much less intuitive and useful than Mint’s. It is because of this, that I’m apprehensive as to Mint’s future fate. I hope that Intuit adopts the majority of Mint’s technology and their development style.
However, let’s not be discouraged from forging ahead with Mint.com! It is definitely one of the most powerful tools to-date to help you understand your net worth and how you use your money. If you’re struggling with your finances, or just looking for a way to get a clear (bigger) picture of your funds, take Mint.com for a test drive. If you have questions about Mint.com, feel free to Contact Me!
