Living on a Budget

I was always taught growing up that budgeting was one of the best ways to manage your money and that every family should have one.  When my husband and I were first married I resisted it at first but soon felt like I was very uninformed as to where all of our money was going so quickly.  So I resolved to start a budget.  I was at a loss at first but was then given the suggestion by a friend to use Mint.com

I fell in love with this website!  Plus, it's free!  It is so user friendly and has lots of features that help you budget, set goals, watch your trends, save money, look at all of your financial information in one place and so much more.  If you haven't started a budget already, I would definitely give this a try.  It has helped our family immensely in understanding and organizing our budget.  I now feel like I have some direction and control over where I want my money to go.
