With the economy teetering, wise money management is more important than ever. Some people though (like me) are just not financially minded. Fortunately, there are plenty of tools on the internet that can help.
These five free services are some of the best I’ve found.
Mint is one of the most popular money management tools on the web, and for good reason. Mint automatically syncs all your bank accounts, credit cards, loans, and investments, and then gives you detailed charts and reports on where your money is going.
People love T-shirts. It’s the single most worn type of clothing (except underwear, of course).
Why? They’re comfortable, unisex and, most of all, very personal. T-shirts come in different sizes, models, and with tons of different prints. This allows you to wear T-shirts that fit you and your personality.
The only thing people love more than T-shirts is money. Money to buy new and more T-shirts, or just money to have.
Say if we combine these two? Instead of spending money, you’ll receive money.
There are numerous ways to manage your money, Wesabe, Mint, just to mention a few but I have always found these to be a bit limiting. Mint for example requires your bank account information which is a major drawback.
I always speak up against all this privacy obsession, but while I don’t care if someone gets to my personal thoughts, I do care if they get to my money. There is a heated debate about Mint’s safety and policies and even if you don’t mind that part, if you have bank accounts outside the US, Mint won’t work anyway.
