I feel like I owe it to all of you to tell you to check out mint.com.  It’s a free and safe way to track your spending habits and manage your finances.  What you do is allow the site to connect up with your online banking and your credit cards and it will automatically recognize the ways you spend your money and it was help you analyze where/how you spend money so that you can make decisions about how to change these spending habits.

The site also has a great budgeting tool that allows you to make your own budget and it will help you stick to it by sending you email or text message alerts when you’re nearing the end of a certain category (say, you eat at In-n-Out and you spend the 90th dollar out of your allotted $100 for fast food for the month).

It’s truly an amazing website and might be the future of financial management on the web.  Try it!
