Searching applications one day on my I-Phone I stumbled upon Mint.com (www.mint.com), which I recommend for anyone trying to take control of their finances. It provides my complete financil picture on-the-go!
The site allows you to create and track a budget by adding online financial accounts. It operates much like Quickbooks from Quicken. It links into any account where there's money to be tracked, including but not limited to; Checking, Savings, Brokerage, Mortgage, Student Loan, 401k and Credit accounts.
What intrigues me most about the site is it's ability to make recommendations on how to save in interest and/or fees based upon what it knows about the user's situation. In addition, it provides account alerts and details on most any transaction along with a real-time view of your Net Worth, all for free!
With all of the great features Mint currently offers, they are in the early stages of Beta testing a planning application that I know will knock my socks off at the extremely low price of $0.00.
If loading your financial information on the Web makes you uncomfortable, add a low-end account to start and periodically check it, and your credit reports, for fraudulent activity.
