I absolutely Love Mint.com and have been using it more and more over my installed copy of Quicken. I have been for years a quicken user and I didnt know that I would ever switch to an online option but mint.com is just great. They also released a new Goal section with an inclusion of a travel goal. You choose a destination, length of trip, and then set values for airfare, hotel, car, food, and activities. You pick a deadline for the trip and your monthly contribution and Mint helps you keep track of it and stay on target. You can use an existing bank account you have linked to Mint or it will help you set up an online bank account to use for your goal. While I’m sure you could do much of this on your own its a handy new feature to help you plan for those travel adventures you have been dreaming of.
