Mint allows you to develop your financial goals and then enables you to stick to them, while seeing areas you may be falling short or needing to “tighten the purse strings.”Of course, our focus is real estate, so if your dream is to purchase a home, purchase rental properties or a vacation destination, mint shows you a direct path on getting their all while remaining within your budget.
