First post here! I found MMM a few months ago when I was looking for reviews for Mint.com and Personal Capital. I have a high savings rate already, but knew that I could save much more without really changing my lifestyle if I kept better track of my spending. What an eye opener MMM is!
I imported what I could to Mint and typed in all my other transactions back to Jan. 1. Mint seems somewhat helpful but not great. I want a chart that shows where every dollar went that came in. I want to be able to look at a glance and see what % of my income went to savings and what I’m spending in all other categories. To get this, I started classifying savings as a spending category (‘Education’ since I have no education spending), so it will so up on the trends chart.
What I also find limiting is that you can’t see your breakdown by subcategory. Particularly with income. You can only see 100% income, not the breakdown of income? Why even offer that chart?
I’m looking for advice on better using Mint in this way OR a better online solution if there is one?
Thanks! I look forward to learning a lot from this forum!
