    I used to use Mint before they got acquired, I stopped in 2012ish for security concerns because back then the way you connected was just giving them your password.

    Also it broke all the time and my student loans got stuck while my checking accounts didn’t so it ruined my net worth chart which was like 80% of why I liked it.

    But, shame it’s shutting down even if I didn’t like it I’m sure it was useful to others.

      Mint very quickly gave me the feeling of original devs cashing out just in time before the new owners found out its intervals were toothpicks intricately held together

        Every new update to Mint over the last 5 years just managed to make the product worse. They kept “simplifying” it by removing features and dumbing it down so you really couldn’t get all the same insights that you used to.

        I used to check my mint account religiously. Not so much over the last year or so. Sucks that I have to find a new product now but maybe I’ll find something that works even better for me.
