THIS site is so cool.
And while we are on the topic of managing your money, THIS
book is now available in an updated edition. If you're young-ish and/or don't have you money shit together, this is the best starter book on personal finance.

Agreed. My husband and I started using Mint a few months ago after reading about it on Apartment Therapy. Scary at first to see everything laid out in one place, but liberating once we felt like our finances were under control!
I love it. It's inspired me to really budget myself for the first time ever.
Darling, you linked to the old version of the book. Not the new, expanded version.
Really? The product page says that book was released in March 09. I am corn-fused. If you have a more up to date link, will you paste it here so people can click through? Thanks.
Okay, looks like an Amazon problem that they have just cleared up. Earlier today your link went to an older version of the book, then poking around I found the newer version on Amazon. Now I see your link goes to the new version. Problem solved!
Love the Mint idea. I am going to look into it further in the AM. I wanted to recommend Rich Dad Poor Dad as a finance book. It changed my life when I was about 25 (I am 35 now)because it taught me to look at my money in a completely new way.
love the options... i hve a few of them and highly rec. come check out the beta plus books... complete series at red ticking... they are some of my most favorite in my collection... miss you
Mint amuses me. They send me a warning every month when I go below $500 in checking. BAHAHAHAHA. Oh, Mint, if I have $500 in checking at the end of the month, it is party time.
Oh, yeah -- let's give a shout-out to Ramit and his book, I Will Teach You To Be Rich.
awesome site. thanks for sharing it!
Mint is such an awesome tool! My husband and I signed up right after we got married and combined our finances - it has helped us save so much money - because you can see how all the little things add up so quickly!
I use wesabe.com, and it changed my life too (they are in the middle of a redesign, and hence a painful renewal of some old features). Anyone have experience with the two that can tell me the differences or why they prefer mint??
No one needs a website, or a pie chart, to organize their finances.
Spend less than you think you should, try not to spend money on things like Starbucks and fun shoes, and open a savings account.
Pay off your credit cards.
Don't 'splurge'. Just don't!
Spend enough to enjoy your life, without feeling any amount of worry.
I rarely post inflammatory comments but people are fucking stupid when it comes to managing money.
People flock to Suzie Orman and anyone who gives 'reassuring advice'. Fuck that. Try not spending and soon it will become a habit.
I go on nice vacations, live in a nice house, and enjoy my life, yet there are people who will say 'why are you living in that town? Why don't you have this car? Why are you wearing that?'
You have to tune out the Jones's and make your own plan.
I just can't see why they have to have direct access to my checking account...to much for me...the concept is nice though.
i'm catching up on all my decorno reading since I had the bebe -- so that's why I'm leaving tons of comments. I adore Mint.com, as you say, life changing!
