I’ve been trying to get  a better handle on my finances and decided to look into online money management solutions. Mint.com came highly recommended but didn’t work for me at all.

Some of my problems with it:

• It took several tries for me to even be able to add one account.
• Once the account was added it only downloaded account balances. I waited almost  a week to see if the problem would correct itself but it never did.
• “Help” wasn’t helpful at all being just a self service sort of search engine. The help system consists of you searching for  problems similar to yours already entered in the system and hoping someone a had solved it already.  Everyone else that had the same problem as me was told to wait and they’ll fix it soon. The problem had been identified several months earlier by other users.
• You can’t upload any previous account history.

meh.. I’ll look at it again in a  few months.
