I must admit, I’m sometimes a late adopter when it comes to the newest online trends, tools or chatter about technology. I see this as a strength: it’s good to be skeptical and somewhat critical before jumping on any technology bandwagon. I wasn’t among the first to use twitter, facebook, or myspace, and I JUST finished organizing my personal financial outlook on Mint.
Mint is the perfect tool for people (like me) who have spent an inordinate portion of their lives talking about getting their financial housekeeping in order. It’s amazing. Initially offered as a great personal savings-and-expense management tool, Mint now allows users to track investments and custom categorize individual expense items in a simple, easy-to-use interface. It make suggestions on maximizing savings and indicates if and when expenses are outside my usual spending trends. And as an interactive designer, I appreciate the elegant interface and crisp, clean identity. Centralized self-administered personal finance management for the first time. Talk about exceptional customer experience.
Mint - the revolutionary personal finance organizer.
Granted, I still have to go to each account to move money around. Hmm, another great concept. Is Mint headed in that direction?
