Anyone try Mint yet?

[Darrin]

After much consideration and reading in their forums I decided to make the plunge and try out Mint.

Im learning to really like it. I only have a few accounts integrated with it so far.

Anyone else?

I always have reservation on how much personal info I give to online websites..this is way too much for me ..and I know the website people are fine and they will try there best to secure your info however ..there are bed people out there ....just a persona opinon..

I haven't tried it but read this article recently that gave it a thumbs-up:

Has anyone tried Wesabe?

https://www.wesabe.com/

They're trying to bring "social" and "personal finance" together. NYT says Wesabe "looks like the social version of Quicken". Huh?

I just signed up for an account. Not sure how useful it will be.

Anyone like or dislike it?

I tried Mint out, it had no problem syncing with my credit card account...but it insists my credit union password is wrong. I tried it a couple of times to make sure I hadn't made a typo, but no luck.

From the article:

For example, if Wesabe registers that you bought a latte, two pairs of shoes and a bottle of shampoo, then you will have “tips” on top of your transaction listing, like “Skipping Your Latte and Saving for a Vacation” or “How to Shop Less”, all written by fellow Wesabe members. Sound advice. Unfortunately, I’m not really interested in what Dan in Delaware has to say about my morning latte routine.

Yes, I would love financial advice from Dan in Delaware.

I'm using Mint right now actually. There's a few problems with the labeling, but this could easily be fix as we we're allowed to rename & recategorize our options. (It labeled some stores such as anthropologie as anthropol anthro & it labels my withdrawals as transfers :/.)

Other than that, I'm quite happy with it and I go on the page more often than the bank's website which I use to verify some items that are mislabeled on Mint.

I tried out both Mint and Wesabe before requesting to have my accounts deleted. I had problems with Mint properly downloading my balances and keeping me updated. Also, I found the savings suggestions pointless, since I am unlikely to switch to another credit card, and I already have a high-yield savings account. Wesabe I just didn't like, and didn't find useful.

I've been using Yodlee MoneyCenter for the past couple of months, and I love it. It updates accurately and quickly, and I'm able to see my credit union account, my high-yield account, my credit card, and my bills all in one shot. It also displays spending charts and takes inventory of net worth (although probably not as in-depth or as accurate as NetworthIQ). I feel really comfortable with this service.

I've been using Mint for about two-ish months now, and I really like it. It's true that you input a lot of personal information into the site, and I understand peoples' discomfort with that, but the only institution (virtual or brick-and-mortar) that has endangered my info thus far in my adult life.... was a bank. LOL So, I figure that no matter how protective I try to be, it's never failsafe. Anyway... I like the features Mint offers, and I have had no problems getting it to sync with my bank accounts, savings account, credit cards, etc. I wish it had a few more options (e.g., I would love to be able to sync up my home equity line and such) but it's a relatively new service, and I'm hoping the options continue expanding. But so far, I'm a very happy Mint customer, and I too use the Mint page more than I do my bank account page.
