I don’t know how but you’ve managed to package an unbiased analysis that is more entertaining than the sensationalized segment of economic and financial news. Thank you for your efforts to be the signal and not the noise. I understand that the economy is currently in a downturn and that we must wait for things to get better

I think it's a shame that Mint is closing down. These alternatives are good, but in my opinion, they don't beat Mint because some of these that can be compared to Mint, have a subscription cost that needs to be taken into consideration. Mint being what it was while also being free, was really good.

Just a reminder if you are not paying for the app, you are the product.

I am devastated. I've been with Mint for at least 15 years. I have my systems in place, my categories set up for just how I want them. Nooo. I can't believe i have to start over. I'm not excited about trying to make Empower work, even though I'm already in their ecosystem for retirement purposes - it seems so bare bones. And while it will track your expenses and break them down, it doesn't seem like you can set up a budget. Also, how did I not hear about this until now? I definitely didn't get any notice from Mint!

I appreciate your approach to teaching.. To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough, we just need to hold onto our hopes and wait to see how things turn out because market movements are almost always unpredictable. In my portfolio, I'm noticing more red than green.

This made me mad when I heard Mint was closing down. Why? Sell it to somebody else. I heard Credit Karma won't have a way to set budgets and categorize spending like Mint does. I won't be using Credit Karma if that's the case.

Hi DoughRoller! It’s so great to discover you on youtube! I watched you on your podcast and learn so much. I’m so happy you’re on Yt now!!! Thank you for all the great content! Hope you’re doing well!!!!

Couple of additional thoughts:
1. Empower does not allow you to create detailed budgets. Its takes your spending and just groups all that
2. Simplifi does not allow for "rollover" budgeting. This is where the amount under or over budget from prior periods is accounted for in future periods. This is necessary for budgeting where things are not fixed (i.e. entertainment; electric bill)
3. Detailed budgeting is not moving to Credit Karma. Non-starter

Been using Quicken since 1989 in the old DOS format. Wow, 34 years and still happy with it.

[mowcowbell]

Glad I stuck with my classic Quicken 2011. No subscription fees and it does what I need it to do.

[BrandonClark-StocksPassports]

Thank you for this. I really appreciate it

Crying shame been with mint since 2010 I am going to miss the trends section and net income section I have not cried so hard since Microsoft money closed I was down and out when I stumbled across mint we fell in love now I am a lost soul out in the desert kicking rocks so much data gone why why?😢

[Ryan]

when i heard mint was shutting down i panicked but it was nice to see a familiar face (Rob Berger) show up as one of the top results

[StNickolas]

Nice, short no water description, thanks

[carak]

Thanks for the update we use mint and didn’t know this.

[ensignshaffer]

Thank you! This was helpful! We have a year (to the end of 2024) to move our Mint info. I'm considering YNAB & maybe Pocketguard - I'd love to get your feedback on these in comparison to the 5 you presented.

[noreenn]

Say it isn't so? Mint.com was the first one I ever used.

[InstructorWest]

Can Treasuries be tracked through Treasury Direct linking in any of these apps?

[skibum]

I need a simple budget system. Mint was it...the budget tab with color coded green, yellow, red with custom monthly, quarterly, or whatever time period goals was super good plus "roll over" option for things that aren't monthly but more one month less the next month, etc...does any system out there have that budget with category simplicity that Mint Help!!

Let me mention that on the Monarch webpage they say they are launching in Canada soon, there's a waitlist going on there. That's useful because it means that they would probably commit to making most, if not all, bank and investments account compatible (which was working good enough with Mint, what a shame)
