Personal Finance Blog | FlipSide Invest

If you are like me, you know that keeping track of all of your finance can be a headache. Fortunately there have been a plethora of free online software to help you keep tracking of your finances. Imagine being able to keep track of all of your bills, savings account, checking accounts, loans, stocks, and anything else you can think of all in one place. In addition you will then have nifty reports that will break down your monthly use, so maybe it will finally sink in exactly how much your spending at the bar. I present to you the list of the Best Personal Finance Online Software Review.

Wesabe - This one seems pretty good in that it has a community aspect to it. So basically it keeps track of your accounts and then based on tagging of different activities it connects you with other people who do the same thing so you can share information and hopefully save in the end.

The catch is that you can only track 3 accounts before you have to start paying. After that it is still a reasonable $4.99. I would say this is one those tools that is a nice to have but isn’t going to change your life unless you want to meet and share information with other broke people.

I give this one a 3 out of 5. If you like community type sites this one is for you.

Clear Check Book This one is pretty good. They have a lot of 3rd parties contributing along with instant messenger integration.

The graphics aren’t as flashy as the rest, but the content is more or less the same. It is also 100% free, they make money through donations. I do not know how long that model will hold out so get on the boat before they sell out.

I give it a 2 out of 5 because it doesn’t do that much other than what you can already do with simple spreadsheets.

Yodlee This one is pretty good in terms of what it can offer. Also, not very flashy, but it offers you bill pay, and future balance based on your regular expenses and income. These two features alone are very helpful.

From what it looks like this thing is designed as a solution and not designed for regular users. This may change so keep an eye out.

If you figure out how to sign up its a 4 out of 5.

Mint This one is probably the best of all worlds. It has pretty graphics, which I know don’t matter but make checking your finances less mundane. They also have complete integration with your accounts and like wasabe can give you deals based on your spending.

One draw back is no auto bill pay, so I give it a 4 out of 5.

Just as an FYI, each of these sites prides itself on privacy and security. Read each sites privacy FAQs and see whether you feel comfortable or not. In this new era personal privacy is going out the door, so if your like me, just let go and take advantage of all these tools rather than worry about people finding out how much money is in your account.

Please feel free to comment and let me know if I missed any other major services.
