A well-organized budget is essential to financial freedom. But, when it comes time to track and analyze spending, it's tough to pull all the information together. Mint takes care of the heavy lifting for you.

It syncs with all of your accounts to track spending for you. Then, it organizes all of your spending into detailed categories like groceries, fast food, movies and more. You'll always know where your money is going and whether you're spending more than you'd like to.

The site recognizes when you pay a bill and sets it in your calendar automatically. It will remind you when the bill is due so you never pay a late fee.

Mint will plan short-term and long-term spending goals for you, too. Tell the site how much you think you need for that new car or that new TV and Mint tells you how much to save every month.
