Featured on Mint!

Regular readers of this site know that I’m a big fan of mint.com. I’ve been using it for years to track my spending, and at this point it’s an integral part of my un-budgeting system. It turns what could otherwise be a tedious burden into a relatively mindless exercise that takes me a total of about 20 minutes per week.

Well, last week I was featured on Mint’s blog, and let me just say that it was pretty exciting! I had the opportunity to share my story with a company I really admire, and of course get some nice exposure in front of their audience. Very cool!

But the real reason I want to share the interview with you today is because I think it does a really good job of explaining exactly why I started this financial planning practice aimed at helping new parents. If you’d like to learn a little more about my views on what financial planning is and how it can help just about anyone (even if you don’t have a lot of money), this is a good read.

There are even a few practical tips thrown in there, so you might be able to get something out of it that you could start using today.

Let me know what you think! I’d love to hear your thoughts.
