Has anyone taken a look at mint.com for an overview of your cash, credit and investment portfolios? It also shows what you spend your money on per month and lets you set a personal budget. I've found that I generally use cards and accounts from the same bank because its easier to see all of my bills/money/etc on one page and mint.com brings all of those on one page together for me regardless of the bank or creditor.

 

Its pretty cool stuff. Anyone else have success with this? I am a rookie and would like hints and tips if they are out there.

I've used mint for awhile, the site is badass. It will also bring up credit cards that can offer you better benefits than the ones you're currently using. Mint will warn you through email if any suspicious transactions occur in any of your accounts

I just used this feature today and more than halved my credit card interest rates and also took my savings acct from .01% to 3.01 percent.

I'm a little leery of storing all my information online in one "convenient" place, but I suppose it's not much different than having personal information compromised from Amazon or my bank.
