Update for 2019:
While this article is a few years old, it still covers many of the useful features that Mint.com offers. After all these years, Mint is still a tool that I use (in addition to others). If you’re looking for a more updated review, and a great comparison, then check out my recent article: EveryDollar vs. Mint: Which Budgeting App is Better?
Mint.com Video Review
In our New Year’s Resolutions, we said that we wanted to provide more service reviews. We’ve been using Mint.com for some time now and thought it would be the perfect service to review, while also making our very first video. Without further adieu, here is the very first WealthArtisan.com video, and a review of Mint.com‘s service.
