Vowing to get on a firm financial footing is the stuff of New Year’s resolutions and like many pledges-to-self, often falls by the wayside.
And resolutions fail because they are often made as all-or-nothing propositions. So, why not approach your fiscal fitness program incrementally? You may know where you want to go – more savings, less debt – but where should you start? I know – because I’ve done it myself – that finding out where you stand is the best first step on your financial journey, regardless of the destination you have in mind.
And for that I like Mint.com: think of it as an individual financial GPS that’s easy to use and understand and -- even better -- free to users. (Being free makes excellent financial sense!)
Once you enter all your information on Mint.com, which is safe to do because it’s anonymous on their end, you’ll know exactly how much you owe, spend (and where you spend it) and save.
And here's the best part: after taking this first step, you'll have a better idea of how to reach your destination, but you don't have to do anything right away. You take the next step when your ready.
