How to Budget with Mint.com | Onlyinvesting.info

I just signed up with Mint. When I enrolled my various accounts it brought in transactions from previous months. I wish to start everything from scratch beginning with February 1st. How can I delete all of the old transactions?

I am in search of a good app. But I'd like to paint a scenario. What if you were to buy a coffee from Starbucks with your debit card from your bank account and as your card swipes you get a ding on your phone. That ding notifies you that you have made a purchase and it would ask you what category you would like to put it. You answer the question and lock your phone and it automatically goes into the category you have created. Does this app offer something like this?

Thx I'll change bills to budget it's easier

Any tips on how to get the mint app to refresh more often? I have the app connected to my account and it never updates and never notifies me when I get close to the set limit until the end of the month way after the limit was reached or passed.

I ya camera too close to face

What do you do in a situation where you pay for the bill on your credit card and people either venmo you or give you cash? How do account for this, because you may be over the 'food' budget but in reality, you're still on track.

Thank you so much. This really helped me understand more Mint and I think this will be my new favorite app to use. 🙂

Question: you go to Target and buy items that apply to multiple labels like food, personal Phil, auto maintenance, personnel shared etc all as one bank transaction. How to you label that debit from your account?

Was unsure about using Mint however this was very detailed and removed all doubt. Can't wait to create my account and get started. Mint better have paid you lol

Hi

Thank you very helpful

Its so sad that America is Financial Naïve, but that's how the system works to make all the money. They show you how to get a credit card to buy stuff you don't need, they show you how to get loans for a vehicle, they show you to get a mortgage loan to buy a house, what they don't show you is to be Financially Smart, why? Interest is what runs this nation and makes the banks, creditors and financers rich

ty! have the mint app & needed your instruction

how do u add the money

Great Video! Thank you my man!

So every transaction from my credit card has to be assigned a category ie food gas medical groceries etc.? Seems cumbersome that I would have to do that every month. Or am I missing something?

Hi, I’m wondering if you guys only use mint or do you also use a excel sheet or other forms of budgeting?

Thank you! This was really helpful!

is there any alternative for someone outside the us?

I am confused on Super and Sub Categories. As Auto and Auto-gas. Say I assign $50 to Auto-gas. Do I also assign $50 to Auto? Do the subcategories roll up? Would I be double budgeting?

I wonder what does mint.com is doing with all of its users’ complete spending habits. Maybe selling them to a bunch of marketing firms that will bombard them with spams and unnecessary targeted advertising emails

Thanks so much for this amazing video!

Is it possible to divide the budget by percentage? I have different sources of income and wanted to budget this way. Is it possible for mint to divide it automatically? Let's say 10% goes to personal, 30% to bills and utilities.. Etc..

Incredibly helpful, thank you!
