I LOVE THIS! I have been doing this in an excel spreadsheet and it was quite tedious. This website is very easy to use. It linked up to my bank account quickly. I think it's the best tip I've gotten from Family Zip. I've learned a lot about my spending habits in the 15 minutes I've been using it!

Probably in response to sites like mint.com, stodgy old quicken has made its online service free of charge. I was testing out mint.com, and give it props for figuring out how to access a multitude of financial institutions with nearly as many login hurdles, but I am happier trusting a company that has been around for a while with protecting highly sensitive account info. Note that the quicken service does not have stuff like bill pay either - which in my mind is a good thing.

I was not able to link my bank account to mint.com - presumably due to the secure sign on at my credit union. :-( It would have been cool!
