It actually figures out how long it'll take to pay off your debt using your interest rates, minimum payments, and snowballing. It's very accurate and while the time that it has calculated that I'll be debt free is depressingly far off, it does move the date when I make extra payments. I LOVE the pay off debt estimator.

They got our spending under control. Then sometime after Intuit bought them, the problems began. Constant broken links (many unfixable by me) on accounts working for months for no apparent reason. Maybe they grew too fast. I guess it's not easy to do. This morning they made a change to clear out inactive accounts, along with two of my working accounts. Mint went from almost no work on my part to almost daily maintenance. I used MInt flawlessly for 18 months, I couldn’t speak more highly of them to everyone. They got our spending under control.

I mean it is pretty simple, track what you spend versus what you make, but it seems so hard on mint.com to do just that. I am a developer and I am considering writing an add-in to excel to enable you to bring in your transactions into excel so you dont have to manually type them, then use the power of excel for everything else. I am trying to see if there is enough interest for me to embark on this. Would you guys find this more useful that using mint.com or any other tool? email me at: rogsmith [at] gmail [dot] com I have been using mint.com for sometime now and although it works ok, I never feel like I truly have a good picture.

It is just not a service I want, but there is no way, it seems, to quit the service. Do any of you know how to do it? Does anyone know how to leave Mint?

I think they will eventually come to that point. However, the main focus on the application is to help you control spending, not give you a comprehensive snapshot of your overall net worth. Quicken and MSN Money are better suited for that. Eric, I agree. I think they will eventually come to that point.

I think that would be a cool feature to look in to, as maybe a new tab of some sort.
