Mint.com SUCKS

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:27:01 -0400

Over the weekend, I got the new issue of Inc magazine with the cover story of the 30 Under 30 which one was the founder of Mint.com. I’ve heard of the website, but never went to it before. After watching their presentation at Techcrunch 40, which they won, it took me 45 minutes to realize what a piece of shit the site was. They actually won Techcrunch 40 and have roughly 27 million in capital raised. Unfucking believable. The problem with the online app is that you cannot customize it. I want a place to put my income, nowhere was I able to determine cash flow as promised in the Elevator Pitch. I want to put other fixed bills, such as, my gym membership, my public transportation pass, my cell phone bill, and my monthly hair cut fees. Nowhere was I able to add this information and nor was I able to adjust my credit card accounts that were pulled up.

Oh, and the “make a budget” feature was really awful. It had pre-determined costs of what I should pay for entertainment or healthcare, which were far off of what I do pay for those.

What I was looking for was a place were I could put my info and it could abstract info to make efforts to better track my spending habits. Such as, if I didn’t get Starbucks everyday and made my own coffee. Or if I took the bus, instead of paying for a parking garage twice a week. Essentially, I was looking for a system that allowed me to better access daily spendatures that aren’t going away but are tweak-able. Plus those daily items are the ones that are a real pain in the ass to track anyway.

So that’s why mint.com sucks, and apparently anyone can get 430k users and 27 million in capital.

“To be healthy, wealthy, happy and successful in any and all areas of your life you need to be aware that you need to think healthy, wealthy, happy and successful thoughts and cancel all negative, destructive, fearful and unhappy thoughts. These two types of thought cannot coexist if you want to share in the abundance that surrounds us all.”
