THE DREAM IN ACTION

Mint.com, the new start-up that helps users manage their personal finances is legit.  They just won TechCrunch40 the start-up competition put on by Michael Arrington’s blog TechCrunch.  The night they won I went to their site to sign up but I experienced very slow load times and nothing seemed to work quickly at all.  Apparently, they estimated over 100,000 new users were trying to sign-up for Mint that night.  A few days later I received an email apologizing for the inconvenience and I decided to give it a shot.  I had all my bank accounts added within 5 minutes and was able to see what my most visited establishment (Chipolte) is and what my spending avg.’s are.  This site is as easy to use as advertised and has some pretty sweet features.   I had to re-categorize a few of my expenses to make the analysis more accurate but that only took a few minutes as well.

Some of the other features bosted by Mint.com:

• Add your accounts in less than five minutes
• Know where your money goes
• See savings opportunities that are “unique to you”
• Get email or text message alerts to keep you in control 24/7
