Wesabe.com and Mint.com

As someone who never knows where my money goes at the end of the month, there was an interesting article in this month's Reader's Digest, where it talks about these 2 websites. Basically, it uploads information from your bank account so that your whole income is there on your screen when you enter in expenses, debt, etc., and it creates pie charts or graphs so you can see where your money is going, how much you have left, and where you need the most help, etc.

Unfortunately, I see it doesn't support Israeli bank accounts, although Wesabe does have a cash account option so I suppose I can enter information in there (though Mint.com looked cooler...) but I figured I'd post the info on there anyway since the sites looked so interesting.

(I realize not everyone would be comfortable entering their online banking passwords onto another website, but if you are, these websites look great. I assumed Reader's Digest researched the legitimacy of the sites before writing the article, but I googled around anyway first.) Enjoy!

We use Mint. If you take some time to properly categorize expenses, it's great!

I LOVE mint.com
It really breaks down where all the money goes. And when DH complains about my spending money on clothes for the kids, I can tell him he's the one spending money on electronics Smile

Seriously though, It's helped us save a lot of money!

We use Mint.com, and it's definitely helped. We aren't using it to it's fullest though.
