Thank god, I thought this was about the herb.
The herb is a weed that can’t be killed once it gains a foothold.
What’d you put it on your foot for dummy
Unlike the company
That’s good if you have a middle eastern diet.
What I’m gathering from this thread is that too many things are named mint.
I just told my wife Mint was shutting down and she gasped, frozen in shock. I was thinking she was taking it really hard. Took me a minute before I realized she thought I was talking about our favorite Indian restaurant.
I used to use Mint before they got acquired, I stopped in 2012ish for security concerns because back then the way you connected was just giving them your password.
Also it broke all the time and my student loans got stuck while my checking accounts didn’t so it ruined my net worth chart which was like 80% of why I liked it.
But, shame it’s shutting down even if I didn’t like it I’m sure it was useful to others.
Oh man I thought I was going to have to get another mobile provider. But thank goodness it’s not about Mint mobile
same here, thought my 1 year data top-up was a waste…
If someone is looking for a local hosted budgeting alternative, consider using Actual Budget. It’s an open source app that’s similar to YNAB
https://github.com/actualbudget/actual
Edit:
Also this is an interesting read from the original developer of Actual. Basically, it started as a closed source web app funded by a subscription model. When the business failed, he decided to open source it
As a user of YNAB, I’m glad there’s an open source option, as well. The method/approach really clicked for me.
Wow thank you so much! I have been looking for an alternative to YNAB. 🥹

Thank you for posting this. Stupid question, how do I download just to put it on my laptop? I don’t download from github a lot and I’m a little lost pulling down the exe.
Pretty much just gone back to a spreadsheet.
insights about spending up and down per category and automatic categorization was pretty nice.
Budget targets were nice.
I’ve been meaning to look around for something self hosted or FOSS.
I just set this up myself a few days ago, though because it doesn’t sync for non-EU banks, I haven’t gone further yet.

I personally use Budget with Buckets and it’s working quite well.
I just sync my file to a common server for my backup and syncing.
Oh thank heavens, I thought they were shutting down the economies of Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey
Praise the Nine I thought this was about US Mint.
Well, crap. I use mint to track net spending and give me a forward budget. Time to find something new, I guess.
Same I liked mint more than the recommendations in the thread too…
Mon dieu! I thought it was the Indian buffet near Pittsburgh
I liked using mint for budgeting for years. It felt good to have a sold hold of expenses vs expenditures. But then one day the syncing between my primary credit card and mint stopped working. That was the day mint died for me, I use my primary credit card for everything and pay it off every month to build credit. When mint suddenly wasn’t allowed to connect to my credit card to get transactions it became useless.
I tried another budgeting service, but it did budgeting completely different approach wise and I just didn’t like it. Oh well such is life I guess, everything I love goes away.
F u c k, that spells fuck.
Whatever happened to the free credit report.com band? I know that they didn’t get paid for any of the jingles they wrote and so they tried to sue, but I haven’t heard from them since then.
free credit report is not the officially sanctioned source of credit reports. the actual one is annualcreditreport.com
I know, I just wanna know what happened to that.
Damn, I went from $50k net worth in 2010 to $3m today on Mint. End of an era. Not sure where to go next
I moved to Fidelity full view awhile back. Close enough, maybe a few less features but they’re account syncing send to be a bit more reliable.
Do they have a standalone app?
Not that I’m aware of. Unless your referring to a mobile app. They do have that for other fidelity functions but you can just access full view from a mobile web browser and it’s responsive.

I always found the ads suspicious. Anyway I miss Primeco and to hell t-mobile.
This is the financial app Mint, not mint mobile.
I thought we were talking about Linux Mint for a second…
Same, can we stop naming things after plants?
I think they were naming it after the place where you print and make money and not the plant.
Doesnt change the spelling.
