Thanks John.
Question for Barb:
I’ve been budgeting since my wee days and I’ve built my own budgeting system (yah for PHP/MySQL skills), However I’ve been curious about mint. The one thing I can’t seem to figure out with your budgeting system is if it allows you to break a purchase down into separate categories. for instance a trip to Walmart includes, food, sundries and whatever other category. Is that possible with Mint?
Thanks for your time,
Christian
