Hey Kristen,
I just finished an article on online money management tools that can help you see where your money is going. After trying a couple different ones, my favorite is Mint.com, because it will categorize expenses for you and put them into pie charts so you can see where you’re spending the most (and also WHEN you’re spending it). Some banks are also adding features like this (for instance, Bank of America’s My Portfolio). Mint can also notify you via email or text message when you reach a certain dollar amount, your credit card bill is due, etc. That make might looking at your finances a bit easier.

I think NO ONE wants to look at their financial picture. But, a post like this forces us to look at what we’re doing and what we can do better. Thanks for making it “in-our-face” as we head into 2008. I know I for one need a fresh outlook and a clean start!
