In honor of the first day of December I have put up some christmas lights on my tree. I was not sure how well it was going to come out at first but I think I am pretty happy with the results. I have more changes in mind as we get closer to Christmas!
I just stumbled across a new Web tool that I have been hoping someone would create for a while. It is a money management tool called Wesabe. Basically you hook up your bank account information to the site so that your transactions are pulled from your online banking. From there you are able to tag each transaction and see graphs as to how you are using your money. Another cool thing is that you are able to split transactions between tags and further detail how and where your money is going. I have been using this for just about a month now and really love it. It does not have a large amount of features on it but I do like just the basics. The graphs make it easier for me to view where my money is going. Of course when we talk about online bank information being thrown around concerns about how Wesabe uses that information comes to mind. Their privacy policy says they don’t use or give out your banking information other then displaying it on your own account. They use an https (its the internet with security) when veiwing your account. It seems that the risks of giving your banking information to Wesabe out weigh the reward of having a very handy online Quicken.
