My not all to high confidence in Mint went down by 90% just now. I'm not going on line every day, and haven't been on for more than a week. But now it is Friday afternoon, and Mint tells me that there are "temporary issues" with ALL my accounts. Apparently this occurs more often, not just now. That doesn't seem acceptable at all. NOT AT ALL! I need to know how my accounts are NOW!
"temporary issues" on Mint

Why would anyone us any online service like this is beyond me. You have no control to what happens if they go out of business or if and when their servers go down. When it comes to data that I can control why would i pass that onto an online service or a cloud.
It is easier and cheaper if you have the proper equipment and software at home than it is by paying someone for you to access on the net.

Mint is free (advertising). Mint can aggregate the whole picture of all your finances. Mint "just" stores the links to the FIs you give them (it can't acces my foreign bank). Mint doesn't really store all your data (I believe). I'm not giving up Quicken. Mint is an alternative way to look at your finances. Redundancy is good!!
