mint.com

I have tried a money managing site called wesabe. I used it for like a month and then forgot all about it. It was also kinda bothersome because you'd have to go to your different money accounts and download your statements monthly and then upload it onto the website.

However, David found this really neat site called mint.com. I really like this website because you can add all the money accounts you have and because you sign in securely, it will automatically update your transactions.

You can also make a budget and tailor it to your needs. It will also tell you if you've exceeded your budget for a certain area. You can label the different transactions according to what they are. If you write checks monthly for the same amount, you can make it so that instead of the label check, you can label it whatever it needs to be. For example, our rent is the same amount every month so every time the rent amount comes up, it's automatically labeled as RENT.
It's pretty awesome. It can even send you mobile alerts to when a bill is due (if you sign up for the texts). I believe there is even an app for it for the iPhone and iTouch. Check out the features HERE. If you're still not sure, check out their "about" page HERE.
I just really wanted to share that with you guys and hopefully you'll find it useful too.
(and I'll get back to blogging about us for real next!)
