Check out this NEW intelligent ONLINE money management software. It just got purchased by Intuit (which owns QuickBooks).
It is FREE. It can save you money and according to some of my clients, MINT is virtually effortless.
Mint connects directly to your banking and credit card institutions. It is a data consolidation site only. It can NOT be used to make payments, transfer funds, etc.
Here are comments from their website:
How Mint works
Mint is a modern, powerful, easy and secure Web–based solution for online financial management. And it's free. You register anonymously using any valid email address, and then add the log–in information for the online bank, credit union, credit card and investment accounts you want to consolidate in Mint.
Mint connects securely to nearly all US banking financial institutions that have Internet banking capability.Your account information is updated daily. Mint automatically categorizes all your purchases, showing you how much you spend on gas, groceries, parking, rent, restaurants, DVD rentals and more, with amazing precision. Mint automatically analyzes and graphs your investment performance, showing you how you’re doing versus relevant market indicies like the S&P 500 and highlighting the fees you’re paying in each of your accounts. Mint’s advanced alerting system sends you email or SMS messages (your choice) on any unusual activity, low balances, fees and upcoming bills so you’re in constant contact with your money - effortlessly.
Mint goes way beyond just reporting and budget tracking. Using a patent-pending search algorithm, Mint constantly searches through thousands of offers from hundreds of providers to find you the best deals on everything from bank accounts to credit cards; brokerage accounts; and more. Mint’s suggestions are unique to you - as they’re based on your individual spending patterns. For example, if you have $20,000 in a bank account that’s earning no interest, Mint’s certain to find and recommend a high interest bearing savings account for you. Acting on that suggestion could give you an extra $900 in interest income over a year.
