By online financial tools I mean things like online budgeting programs, websites devoted to reducing debt, and retirement or mortgage calculators. Or are you running a strictly paper-and-pencil operation? It occurred to me yesterday while working on a post about three ways to budget that some BargainBabe.com readers might not use the Internet to save money (aside from reading this blog, that is).

Yup, dedicated Mint.com user. I’ve found it to be much more effective than when I was using the paper-and-pencil methods. The graphic displays are rather helpful in pointing out where I am in my budget and spotting anomalies for targeting cutbacks.
I use the Internet but I do occasionally bust out the trusty pen, paper, and calculator to make sure I understand what is going where.
I’m strictly pencil and paper, as I’m not really tech oriented, and don’t like to spend any more time at the computer than absolutely necessary. Basically I use the computer for email and web searches, just as I use my cell phone for phone calls and nothing else. Texting is blocked!
Get blog and fantastic posts!
I created a website (www.easy-budgeting.com) and a budget planner in Excel which has helped thousand’s of people worldwide with their budgeting.
Take a look at the site and the screenshots and let me know what you think.
I have had some really positive feedback from users who think it is very user friendly, affordable and like the fact that it’s in Excel as opposed to online or a new complicated software that has to be installed on their PC.
