Quicken or Mint

[wizard210]

Currenlty I'm working with both. Not sure which one I like better. Right now I'd say Mint since it can track both my student loans..

What do you folks prefer?

I'm curious since you use both--which one is better at showing you what you will have in your bank account at a certain point in the future? I mean, say you want to know what you will have in your checking account in 8 months. And which is better at showing how long it will take to save up for a big purchase, like a car or vacation?

Mint

I did some research on the founder of Mint.com, Aaron Patzer and found that he created Mint because he was frustrated with Quicken. Mint has saved me money on bank charges and led me to close one account because I really didn't need it anymore.

[wizard210]

right now quicken does a better job at showing me what I'll have left over each and every month.

As far as big picute I really dont' utilize any of that right now. I'm just concentating on payign down my debt.

I do like Mint because I can get it anywhere, even on my phone. It just sometimes doesn't categorize the downloaded transactions correct. If they were to implement a recurring transaction/Bill Calendar feature i would more away from Quicken completley.

Neither. Yodlee works best for me.

Have you used the budgeting feature or goal feature.

I haven't looked around enough yet.

How do you like how mint manages budgets?

I used to use Mint just as a novelty, but my income was never stable enough to use the budgeting feature to its max. I went to log back in today and saw a new goal feature, which leads me to think I may give it another shot.
