Mint is shutting down, and it’s pushing users toward Credit Karma

Oh good, I thought this was about the Linux distro.

Oh phew, I thought this was Linux Mint

Thank god, I thought this was about the herb.

What I'm gathering from this thread is that too many things are named mint.

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.

Lol comments are hilarious. Everyone thinking of a different Mint

Oh man I thought I was going to have to get another mobile provider. But thank goodness it's not about Mint mobile

Good. Mint sucks. Fuck Intuit.

Use Lunch Money or YNAB.

If someone is looking for a local hosted budgeting alternative, consider using Actual Budget. It's an open source app that's similar to YNAB

Edit:

Also this is an interesting read from the original developer of Actual. Basically, it started as a closed source web app funded by a subscription model. When the business failed, he decided to open source it

Pretty much just gone back to a spreadsheet.

insights about spending up and down per category and automatic categorization was pretty nice.

Budget targets were nice.

I've been meaning to look around for something self hosted or FOSS.

Oh thank heavens, I thought they were shutting down the economies of Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey

Oh thank goodness, I thought this was about junior mints.

To those who have already switched (whether to Credit Karma or another service): What are you using and why do you like it?

Damn I still use this. Now what should I use for budgeting?

Praise the Nine I thought this was about US Mint.

Been wanting to switch to a local-only solution for ages, guess they're forcing me to hurry up :D

Well, crap. I use mint to track net spending and give me a forward budget. Time to find something new, I guess.

Mon dieu! I thought it was the Indian buffet near Pittsburgh

I liked using mint for budgeting for years. It felt good to have a sold hold of expenses vs expenditures. But then one day the syncing between my primary credit card and mint stopped working. That was the day mint died for me, I use my primary credit card for everything and pay it off every month to build credit. When mint suddenly wasn't allowed to connect to my credit card to get transactions it became useless.

I tried another budgeting service, but it did budgeting completely different approach wise and I just didn't like it. Oh well such is life I guess, everything I love goes away.

It's too bad it's not the US mint. It might help inflation.

Damn, I went from $50k net worth in 2010 to $3m today on Mint. End of an era. Not sure where to go next

F u c k, that spells fuck.

Whatever happened to the free credit report.com band? I know that they didn't get paid for any of the jingles they wrote and so they tried to sue, but I haven't heard from them since then.

This thing just never worked for me. As in, the product was broken in several ways all of the time.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Intuit first acquired Mint in 2009, an app that has offered a free way for users to track their budgets, manage expenses, negotiate bills, and keep tabs on subscriptions.

On a support page on Credit Karma’s website, Intuit says “the new experience in Credit Karma does not offer the ability to set monthly and category budgets,” adding that the app instead “offers a simplified way for you to build awareness of your spending, and track your savings.” Intuit says it still plans on adding ways to view transactions, track spending, and aggregate financial accounts.

The Verge reached out to Intuit for more information about the features coming to Credit Karma but didn’t immediately hear back.

Earlier this year, Credit Karma added one of Mint’s key features: the ability for users to track their net worth.

Users can also download and delete their Mint data if they don’t want to move to Credit Karma.

This change seems to have been in the works for quite some time now, as Mint users across Reddit have seen prompts to migrate to Credit Karma over the past few weeks.

Whew, I thought they were talking about the plant.

I always found the ads suspicious. Anyway I miss Primeco and to hell t-mobile.
