Mint.com Has Changed My World

I love love love Mint.com! Not only does it let me see all of my account activity on my phone, but it breaks it down into the best details. For instance, I can see how much money I have spent at my favorite coffee place in the last week, month, and year. It's a lot higher than I thought. For those of you unfamiliar with the site, it is a really private and popular site that lets you track your bank accounts, credit cards, loans, and spending. Also, if you have investments you can view them. I love the site for how simple it is, you don't even have to have your account numbers, just your online banking user names and passwords. I also follow their blog, which has a great post today. It's an interactive map with info on the best cities for working mothers, based on income, living expenses, unemployment, crime, schools, daycare, and several other categories. I'm always checking to see where Portland ranks on any "best" and "worst" lists. I think we could have done  better on this one. Portland only made the top 10 in Lowest Property Crime (#4), Lowest Violent Crime (#1), Best Quality of Schools (#4), and Lowest Healthcare for Working Mothers (#6). Anyway, check out the post here to see all the best cities.
