The best free way to manage your money online

A quick search for personal budgeting tools will yield an impressive number of results. Without doing a little research, you might find yourself slightly overwhelmed. It is, after all, hard to distinguish the gems versus the gimmicks. However, Intuit's free online money manager, Mint.com, is quickly becoming one of the best. We can't quite quantify that statement, but it is difficult to argue with over 4 million users.

According to the website: Mint brings all your financial accounts together online, automatically categorizes your transactions, lets you set budgets, and helps you achieve your savings goals. See all your balances and transactions together, on the web or your phone. Mint automatically pulls all your financial information into one place, so you can finally get the entire picture. The fees that banks pay us for introducing new customers allow us to keep the service free for our users. We're committed to staying free for everyone, whether or not you ever act on one of our savings recommendations.
