I found Mint today while doing a search for finance on SimpleSpark. I have been searching for some time trying to find a good application for tracking our finances. I try to track every penny we spend, so it is important to me that it is simple, intuitive, and provides some analysis so I can get the bigger picture of our spending.

The best solution I have been able to come up with is PearBudget. It works well, but it is lacking a couple features that keep it from the I-won’t-use-anything-else category. I got my hopes up today when I found Mint. I have no idea what their interface looks like or what features they have, but so far, it seems like they have great potential when it comes to philosophical connection. They seem to be not just about simplifying finances, but simplifying your life. Check out their blog.

Their office is just down the street from me. Do you guys want a local interview?
