    Yes, it's cute.

    I only use it to track my stuff - all the other money saving options don't really apply to me.

    I've used it for this entire year.

    It's nice to have one site give you a quick look at your entire portfolio.

    It doesn't do much for me. Two of my bank accounts aren't able to sync, it always has my 401k and Scottrade account f-ed up, and its just too much for me to sort all of my transactions. It could be nice, but you have to put some time into it to get anything useful out of it.

    I do like knowing how little money I am worth though :)

    Seems pretty good just for keeping everything organized and in one place. Mobile app seems cool and convenient too...

    I cancelled as it would only sync with my bank the first time.

    yeah. they "offer" you all kinds of things based on their analysis of your account. basically sending you emails on how you can save money from their affiliates.

    it is created and owned by Intuit, the same company that makes turbo tax.

    cool, I might give it a shot. The idea of punching all my account info into their DB kinda scares me though.

    That's all I was worried about, but I've looked and haven't found any horror stories, it all seems legit. I'll let you guys know if I find otherwise :D

    I have been using it for about 6 months. Set my accounts up, seems OK, some of my investment accounts are jacked though. One shows up twice both as the total, and the individual holding, so lets say I see 10k for the account, then 5K in fund Y and 5K in fund Z, so it shows me the same money twice. Another account only syncs every 10th time it seems. Gives me a good snapshot of my budget which is nice. Get to see where the $$ is going. And one good thing, It only sees the $ i pay on my credit card, not the $$ I put ON the card

    I use it and I love it. And I can pretty much guarantee, having worked on similar financial systems in the past, that their data center would be a far more secure place to store your financial data than your own computer or even your home.
