I’m hooked on mint.com, an online money management and budget-planning site that categorizes and graphs all your finances automatically each day. Now I can see how much money I spend on food (yikes!), entertainment, shopping and much more. For me the best feature is seeing what percentage of my paychecks goes where -it even breaks down the places where I spend the most (I must lay off the Mexican food!).

All of this info is helping me find where I can save some money. MINT analyzed my spending and lifestyle habits and suggested better banking and credit cards that are better suited to my financial and paying needs. Best of all I just got an iPhone, and MINT has an application so I can stay on top of all my spending by the minute. I’m hoping to cut my expenses by 20% by the end of September. With the help of mint.com, let’s see if I can achieve this.
