Mint.com - Making the Dollars and Cents Understandable

How many times are you tempted to splurge on that amazing top, at an even more amazing price or forgot your homemade lunch and have to stop at the closest Subway? If you ask me, one too many times!


More and more, I come across our collegiate sisters who are experiencing financial difficulty due to these tough times we are all in. Financial responsibility is one of AXO's five standards, and I found a wonderful tool to help members support just that! I recently started using www.mint.com, a one-stop-shop for budget building, monitoring and analyzing. It aggregates all of your banking, credit cards, loans, and assets to analyze your finances. It shows you what your spending characteristics and trends really are. It is quite opening when you realize how often you might eat out or grab a Starbucks on the way to an event.

I highly recommend sharing this financial resource with collegiates and anyone else for that matter! There is no time like the present to start budgeting and monitoring! :)
