Sorry for this, but, don’t ever tell me you can’t change things. That goes for me too, on my Eeyore-channelling woe-is-me days. You know them, right? The days when you rage against the machine and shake your fist at the $2.50 EXTRA the ‘establishment’ wants to charge you for taking a measly $20 of YOUR OWN money out of your very own bank account?
But wait. This little company called Mint.com, it’s just another online tool, right? Err…nope, not actually. It IS an online tool that allows you to manage your money and… actually saves hundreds of dollars for its users on their very first try. Real money, like the stuff we all work to earn.
The tool itself? Is free. But of course.
As a Canadian, most of my banks are not yet supported, but American clients and friends who’ve tried it since Michael Port introduced me, report that it is indeed nothing short of a money revolution, showing the banks what they should have been doing for us all along. Even if you don’t sign up, I highly recommend a peruse around the site, starting with the kind words section.
For those of you who CAN use it, hurray, I’m green! 
Enjoy…no more excuses. Clarity and better money management are ahead. I do so love that thought leadership comes in so many forms. And heartfelt congratulations to the leaders at Mint.
