An Experiment in Scotch

I don’t think I’ve ever men­tioned it here at the Exper­i­ment but one of the most fan­tas­tic pieces of soft­ware I use reg­u­larly is Mint. Mint tracks your finances, spend­ing and invest­ments and it does it extremely well, far bet­ter than Money or Quicken. There is very lit­tle for you to do other than ver­ify the cat­e­gories. On top of that, it’s free. I’m a lit­tle more OCD when it comes to money than most peo­ple but still, I think almost any­one would ben­e­fit from hav­ing a com­pre­hen­sive view into their finances with­out hav­ing to jump through all the hoops that other pack­ages force you through.

If you’ve always wanted to track your finances but didn’t want it to require 3 hours a week to keep up with, you should check out Mint.
