Mint.com... Is it cool, or is it wack?
Contrary to hipster chick belief, the life of a bro is not an easy one. With great #partyrocking comes great responsibility. And with great responsibility comes monetary obligations and expenses. Every fiscally responsible bro needs to manage and track his expenses as easily and accurately as possible, in order to have the funding and time to partake in investing, partying, and pulled pork sandwiches.
“How iz I gonna find da time and motivations to track ma expenses and budget for da future?” you ask yourself in your best Ali G voice. Chill bro. There’s a website out there that will be a cure for your strife and whoa. Mint.com is a useful, safe, and convenient resource for bros and non-bros alike.
Signing up for Mint.com is easier than ke$ha on New Year’s Eve. After signing up, you can set up your account in a few easy steps. Every bank, credit card, investment portfolio, retirement fund, loan, or any other institution you are fratting hard with can be linked up to your Mint.com account. Simply select the institution and enter your username and password, and BAM, Mint.com is synced up with the activity of that account. Additionally, you can track the value of your fixed assets, such as your home, car, and kegerator. Once all your accounts are added (takes a bit of time for a well-diversified bro, but it’s a one and done set up process), you have one resource where you can track all your incoming and outgoing cash.
Transactions are automatically categorized and securely protected using Mint’s super stealth technologies. Mint will tell you how much, both absolute and relative to your total expenses, you are spending in different categories. Additionally, you can set a budget for each month. At any time, you can log in and see how close you are to keeping to your budget, where you need to cut spending, and where you have some flexibility. There are pie charts and other graphs, in case you are a little sloshed and can’t see the screen clearly (disclaimer – invest responsibly. Bros don’t let bros manage finances drunk).
Mint.com is a tremendous (free!) tool that will help you track and manage your income and expenses. Balling out and making it rain are both crucial to the people of the broleteriat, but live within your means, and make more money than you spend.
