Mint is a giant website. The implementation of this is non-trivial, especially because how would you code something like CVS?

Better to use Mint and set up e-mail alerts, or just live off of Bluebird/cash.

In fact, there was an article a few years ago that ended up deconstructing the work involved in programming cards with budget buckets (and other things that "ought to be simple").

Personally, I tend to prefer the way Quicken does net worth over time chart, where liabilities are shown as a negative number. As an example, my chart:



At my peak, I had $89K in student loans and a $15K car loan. The car's paid off, and I'm making good progress on the student loan, paying $1000 a month toward a minimum payment of $218. At that rate, it'll be paid off in May of 2015. However, since I'm paid every two weeks, I'm also hoping to throw the "extra" paychecks in a month where I get paid three times toward it.
