I'm debating opening an account there, but wanted to get some input about their service if anyone here uses it. My only concern is security. I heard the TWiT show where Leo bashed it, but that was about 2 years ago so I figure things have gotten better?

haven't had any issues with it thus far. I did have some questions about the login fiels and whether they were secure or not, but I use a bookmarked page which is secure so it's not much of a question anymore.

haven't heard any security issues... I caved back in October and signed up. I like being able to see my spending trends as well as comparisons to other people's spendings in that category. It sucks that the trends only starts after you sign up though (even though technically they should be able to access prior data), so you will need to give it a few months.

I tried a while back, but they didn't support all my financial institution logins, so I didn't continue using them.

I used it for 2 months and realized how damn much money we wasted going out to eat. Now the wife and I have our own entertainment savings accounts, as well as a joint entertainment savings account.

I've been using it for 2 months now. It's great I love it. And I spend far too much money on food/dining...

I just can't get over the idea of giving my logins and things to an outside company. way too paranoid about security issues for that

I use it, I love it. I spent 600 dollars last month eating out. Gotta cut back on that!

Same here. It really helps you to take a step back and look at things.

I used it until it stopped working with my bank. Now I use Quicken Online which is very similar to Mint and also free. I like Mint better, though.

Mint.com almost entirely replaced MS Money for me...it can even login to accounts that Money doesn't/won't support. Definitely recommend.
