I like the idea of mint, its a real PITA to keep checks on all of your accounts, just wonder how well it works. I may also mention this site on mine as a good source of financial advice.

Nice in depth review, Jack – often, you just see a list of the sites and it is nice to see someone take the time to put together a bit about why they matter. Couple of cool feature notes:

- Thrive actually monitors your card for fraudulent transactions for you; since we have so many users, we can see when many people are getting charge suspiciously by the same vendor and take action. It isn’t full-proof, but another nice part of working with so many people.

- Many of these tools actually work well together. You can open a SmartyPig account, add it into Thrive, and use both to manage the account together so that you can maximize your savings (we also have a goal feature, so you can figure out when you’ll accomplish what you are trying for and how much you need to save). How do I know? Several members of our team do just that. =]

- For heaven’s sake, get your Mom on Thrive! While we’re targeted at people in their 20’s and 30’s, we have many members from all walks of life and ages – there is a guy in his 70’s that calls us weekly to make a few feature requests and chat about his savings. We’d be happy to help your Mom sort it out!

- Lastly, if you are ever in NYC, come by the Thrive office…we can take care of that dancing issue. =]

On the microfinance, I would like to mention that you don't earn interest at Kiva; it's essentially a charity. You provide capital for a microfinance institution to lend money to someone in the developing world, then you get that same amount back (to re-lend or withdraw) when that person has repaid the money. That said, I think it's a fantastic charity and I really enjoy using Kiva. I've made several loans in the past and plan to continue doing so. (I don't withdraw my money, I just keep it circulating around Kiva once loans are repaid.)
