Personal Finance Buzz

I use Mint.com, the free online-based personal finance software, and their iPhone app to keep track of all of our financial accounts. This includes the checking accounts, savings accounts, credit cards and other loans, the mortgage, and all of our investment accounts.

One of the most basic accounts available is the savings account. These accounts are meant to allow you a place to save your money, accumulating it for the future.

Banks once offered no-fee checking and savings accounts but with the passage of a few financial reform bills, the days of free bank accounts are soon over.

If you take a look at our best online savings accounts page, you’ll notice EverBank resting in the number two slot. In terms of true online banking institutions, this bank is worth mentioning because EverBank offers a variety of money market, checking, and CD accounts that the first-listed bank, SmartyPig, does not have.

Mint.com is another in a long line of personal budgeting tools that allows you to see your whole financial life in one place. Whether it’s checking, savings, credit cards, PayPal, investments, retirement accounts or many other personal finance accounts, Mint.com is your one stop shop to manage them all.

The best savings accounts that have become extremely popular are internet savings accounts. If you are seeking for a big saving, here are some tips on finding the best ones. Check out the site.
