skipdogg posted:I call it the 10% 'Misc' category. 10% of your take home income should be thrown into a miscellaneous category. My Miscellaneous category is designed to cover unscheduled expenditures that don't make sense to budget for. Hair cuts, new clothes auto maintenance, household expenses, doctor copays, fun money, whatever. bam thwok posted:This might work well for you, but it's generally pretty bad advice. No, you can't budget for everything, but auto maintenance, hair cuts, and shopping for clothes? You absolutely can, and should budget for those, even if they aren't neat, monthly repeating amounts. This is the type of thing that isn't a problem until the moment that it is.

I don't spend more than a few minutes every week checking mint. Sometimes things get misclassified (my "Loan depot" mortgage payment used to get shoved under "home improvement") but it's easy to fix. I'd say mint is good if all of your banks are accepted there, but YNAB is more robust.

I've had a really lovely time trying to combine finances on Mint - specifically, having two Vanguard accounts for my husband and me. It always remarks them as duplicate accounts and then marks them as closed, and I've emailed twice to try and get it fixed, but they can't do much it seems.
