Mint, Wesabe, or Geezeo- Which free budgeting site do you think is better?

[Riley]

OK- I found an article on Yahoo! Finance

http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-budgeting/article/106288/The-Six-Best-Budgeting-Sites

It listed these FREE FREE FREE!! Budgeting/ Money Tracking websites. If anyone has time take a look at them wants to share what you think about them and which one you think is best...

They are www.mint.com www.wesabe.com and www.geezeo.com

I am going to take a look at them all and I will give my feedback as well. Just thought it would be good to have several people look and maybe point out their thoughts or good or bad points that I may miss.

OK- So I looked at all 3.... I realized that none of them looks like it allows you to see your "running" balance minus all future planned expenses. You really just see where you are currently at with your budgeted amount for each category. I have my own very simple excell sheet that tells me at any time of the month how much money I am going to have after all of my monthly bills and deposits. So I know on the 1st that even though I have maybe $800 in my account that I really have $0 because cable, car, and etc are going to come out of that next week.

But my excell sheet does not categorize all my expenses even though each and every transaction is listed.

I am thinking maybe I just add an extra column to add a category and keep my system.

Let me know if there is already a site out there that does this.

You should be able to categorize transactions using Excel.

I found with most other programs, websites, or whatever... they were very good at showing what happened, but could not tell you what you planned to have happen.

I think that separating the money into sub-accounts by category works great! That way, you know just what is planned.
