Mint.com is by far one of the best sites I have found to manage spending and find new deals on everything from 401k’s, new banks, and stock trading platforms. Full listings of fees, potential savings and gains. Alerts are sent via email to let you know you have lost your mind on spending. It’s a nice reality check.
