Thread: Anyone use finance app 'Mint'?

I'm hesitant to use something that combines everything under one roof because of potential hackers accessing it.

Don't be. When the credit agencies are hacked there is literally no point in worrying about it anymore. You can protect yourself all day long but the bottom line is your info is accessible somewhere. Sign up for credit monitoring stuff, lifelock or the like. It's to the point where that's just something we all need to do now.

True, but compiling all of your info for the thieves to take seems like a bad idea. I prefer they work for it, even if only a little.

What is the danger, exactly?

That I will get too drunk and leave my phone on the table at the club and then Sinnamon will have all of my info at her fingertips.

I use a burner for that.

No it's not.

Depends on where you're at. USAA is fully honest that they can't compete with GEICO in Louisiana.

I'm not saying you can't find something cheaper. Instead, maybe it's worth it to pay more for some companies for a variety of long-term reasons.

I agree, but when I called USAA and told them I had moved to Louisiana (After being a 15 year customer with USAA) THEY told me to switch to GEICO. I still have my homeowners, mortgage, and all other baking, etc. through USAA though.

hmmm. To switch, or not to switch.

They have baking at USAA? Brownies? Cakes? Muffins?

No, they're that awesome. Customers are their priority.
