Personal finance is something that will control your life weather you like it or not. One of the best ways to make your life stress free is to take control of your finances and get organized.  Once you have your finances organized in one place you can start to manage them better.  I just found a free software tool that can help you do just that.

Check out Mint

I was skeptical at first when I found a free online money management tool.  Is it safe?  Is it worth the time to set up?  Do I really need this?  Can it help me?   I took the leap once I double checked the site security and set everything up.  YES  to all of the above.  I have never seen such a geat layout for personal financial management.  The great overviews and tools that they offer can easily help you budget so you can bail yourself out of credit card debt, pay off your mortgage faster, or  start saving sooner.

Even if you have your personal finances under control you may find that using this  software  can give you insights to managing your finances better in the long term.  Give it a shot and post your thoughts here.

Update: I was reading Mintlife, the Mint blog  and they have a very impressive Visualization of One Trillion Dollars.  Be sure to check it out!
