I didn't realize it actually sets up a budget for me on what I entered that I make each month...pretty cool. Every other system I have tried takes too long to figure it out and get going...I signed up last night and have already called in 5 expenses and I received my report this morning on my balances and transactions. I have tried mint, quiken, and Excel...none of them worked for me. So far so good...I'll keep you posted. WOW!

I too do not like automated systems. But, I can put up with this one because of its proactive way - telling me what I have remaining in any catagory such as gas, food, entertainment...all by calling and asking for a balance! It's cool and FREE to try ( for the cheap one's to verify) for one week. Go get it and cancel if you don't like it - then come back and add your thoughts. You are speaking from a logical perspective.

Most all the competition require one to sit at computer and spend time doing data entry. This is where I fall down every time! Plus nun are proactive enought ot give me an update regarding what I have left in my budget while I’m out in the mall or out in general. Additionally it's non-techie…all I have to do is know how to use my cell phone and call an 800 number!

How can they possible be making enough simply by pushing those ads? How many of you mint users actually have done one of those offers? It's a great service, but they're going to have to charge eventually - or get much more aggressive in how they push their ads. I’m guessing eventually mint will charge as well.
