Are there trustworthy websites out there that provide financial advice?
With the internet being the “go to” place for information these days, there are numerous websites offering a variety of financial advice. I have a few favorites, though. The first website is www.mint.com , which has been named the best online personal finance tool by Money magazine. This site provides assistance with budgeting, claiming that users can find $1,000 worth of savings ideas in their first session alone.

Mint currently has the capability to pull data from over 7,000 major financial institution
