<prompt> Human: Are online budgeting tools truly secure? I really want to use the free Mint.com service but my wife is literally terrified of putting that much of our information into one single location credit cards, student loans, all bank accounts, car payments, etc. We currently use an excel spreadsheet to budget and it works fine as an income statement of sorts - but I love the real-time analysis Mint.com offers which would help us track more accurately and in real-time where our moneys going and how were managing it.Has anyone else had this problem? How did you sell it in? Or was anyone else afraid of using services like this for security reasons? Did you get over it - and if so, how?  <response>: Mint is owned by the same company that makes Turbo Tax. Turbo tax has the tax information of of what, 10s of millions? They have pretty good security.
