Get Minty

| | Comments (0)

I've got one New Year's resolution, and along with it, a new favorite Web site.

Mint bills itself as "refreshing money management." Basically, it's great if you are someone who manages your credit cards, bank accounts, 401(k), mortgage, car loan, etc., online. It's free; you put in all your logons (don't worry, it's super-secure), and then Mint brings up a ton of information, from your current balances, to a list of specific transactions, to a breakdown of the categories in which you've spent your money.

My biggest expenditures came in... wait for it... FOOD! Big surprise?

Hubby and I are spending 2009 trying to get our finances in order. We've set up a budget, and though we're only a couple weeks in, it seems to be working well. Mint is nice because we can both log in and see where we stand on all our accounts, where before, Hubby always had to come find me and say "Do I use this account? Do I use that account?"

I know some people wouldn't feel comfortable putting all that financial info into one site, but it doesn't bother me. Among other things, I'm so broke that if the people at Mint were looking for identities to steal, mine would NOT be one of them! :)

Did anyone else make any resolutions? My sister Louise said she's going to try to focus on the moment and the positive more, which I think is great. Anybody else have one? (If you have any finance tips to help me with my resolution, post those too. I could use them!)

My name is Joan and I'm a lifelong Yorker. Throughout high school and college, I swore I was getting out of here as soon as possible. Now, a few years later, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be. I love my town. And, as a local editor, I hear every day how much you love your towns, too. So please, connect with me and let's share what makes life in York County great. I'm here to help you enjoy this place as much as I do!
