Thing #6

MINT.com

www.mint.com

Mint.com is a site that basically replaces a financial advisor, the coupon mint, a budget advisor, online banking, and a tax advisor all in one place.  It easy to set up an account: you create your login name and password, put in your online bank account user name and password, choose your bank, and the site does the rest.  Oh, IT’S FREE!  The site has the same level of securities as the online banking websites, it’s a money manager, gives timely alerts, helps with budgeting, shows your spending patterns, finds savings for you, and helps you reduce your debt.  It also has a mobile application, graphs, gives credit card advice, and helps you get ready for taxes! 

Hello Free and Goodbye expensive advisors and tax preparers!

Mint.com could be useful for older kids when they start managing their own starter banking accounts, but would be more appropriate for parents to use as a teaching tool at home instead of in the school or library setting.

This website is awesome in my book!
