<prompt> Human: A friend told me about a website that basically does what I was going going to build a MySql database for. Its made by the same people that make quicken. Just want to hear any personal account before loading my bank info up to this website.  <response>: Mint is simply fantastic. Ive been using it for over 2 years and I have very few complaints. If you were dedicated enough that you were planning to build a database for all of your transactions, youre likely dedicated enough to put in the time to make Mint a very insightful tool for your finances. Here are my pros and cons, Im going to list the cons first purely because most of these are the hurdles you need to overcome very early in the process:Cons - After setting up your account the first time, you should go through and confirmfix their categories, depending on your accounts, this could mean going through months of spending to make sure each transaction is correct When setting up your budgets, Im not a fan of how the Everything Else bucket is displayed on the mobile app. Its fine on the web app, but they dont let you drill in at all on the mobile app Ive been really hoping they would give me a better way to track cash spending through the mobile app you have to do it all manually in the web app if you care that much. Myself and many others have posted an idea for Mint to release an API, but no word yet on whether that will ever happen. Im using Spenz to track my cash spending for now If you close an account, you lose all of its historyPros - The metrics are fantastic, especially spending over time ones Easy to manage your categories It does exactly what I want it to do, which is track my spending on a monthly basis, send me alerts for specific financial issues that Ive specified, and give me the tools I need to analyze my own habitsMint has been around for a while and Im yet to hear of any security issues. The worst thing Ive ever seen happen is a mass email that got sent out from their test environments. That was years ago, and I really get the feeling that they understand how to handle sensitive information, unlike some of the scumbag banks out there.
