Oh good, I thought this was about the Linux distro.
Similarly, I thought this was Mint Mobile – i just paid for a three month contract to use on my work phone
This is not the mobile thing as well? Way too much stuff called mint…

LMDE basically exists for such an event.
If someone is looking for a local hosted budgeting alternative, consider using Actual Budget. It’s an open source app that’s similar to YNAB
https://github.com/actualbudget/actual
Edit:
Also this is an interesting read from the original developer of Actual. Basically, it started as a closed source web app funded by a subscription model. When the business failed, he decided to open source it
Thank you for posting this. Stupid question, how do I download just to put it on my laptop? I don’t download from github a lot and I’m a little lost pulling down the exe.
I don’t think it’s offered as as an exe as it’s server-client model where you access it through a web-browser. If you want to just run it on your laptop, it can be both your server and client. The installation instructions are here, and there are also instructions for Docker on the left-side menu.
Wow thank you so much! I have been looking for an alternative to YNAB. 🥹
Thank god, I thought this was about the herb.
The herb is a weed that can’t be killed once it gains a foothold.
What’d you put it on your foot for dummy
That’s the truth right there, we planted some in our edible garden this summer and it overtook everything. Crazy.
Oh phew, I thought this was Linux Mint
I thought it was mint mobile
I thought the same, mint mobile. I was like wtf does credit karma have to do with phone service.
I thought it was Big Mint. Global supply shortages have wreaked havoc on mojito availability!
I thought this was the family of plants called Lamiaceae
Same here, got nervous
That would’ve been tragic.
I think “Credit Karma” is the name of the next version of Ubuntu.
Kredit Karma for the usual alliteration

Lol comments are hilarious. Everyone thinking of a different Mint
Good. Mint sucks. Fuck Intuit.
Use Lunch Money or YNAB.
Thanks for the recs. Do either work especially well with securities?
Personal Capital or whatever they rebranded to has been generally stable since I left mint a few years ago.
Not paying subs for YNAB.
Unless you talk about YNAB4 now that is gold.
Same. They can’t justify me to pay a fee that increases every year.
F u c k, that spells fuck.
Whatever happened to the free credit report.com band? I know that they didn’t get paid for any of the jingles they wrote and so they tried to sue, but I haven’t heard from them since then.
free credit report is not the officially sanctioned source of credit reports. the actual one is annualcreditreport.com
I know, I just wanna know what happened to that.
Been wanting to switch to a local-only solution for ages, guess they’re forcing me to hurry up :D
I made the move years ago and haven’t regretted it at all. I just hate that most of the solutions are subscription crap (looking at you YNAB) though the one I use is a pay once service unless you pay for the bank connection.
Such a thing exists? I haven’t been able to find something that will connect to my accounts and pull data automatically.
Ah nothing that pulls the data automatically but, I stopped sharing my bank passwords with them anyway cause it felt kinda sketch haha
Mon dieu! I thought it was the Indian buffet near Pittsburgh
I used to use Mint before they got acquired, I stopped in 2012ish for security concerns because back then the way you connected was just giving them your password.
Also it broke all the time and my student loans got stuck while my checking accounts didn’t so it ruined my net worth chart which was like 80% of why I liked it.
But, shame it’s shutting down even if I didn’t like it I’m sure it was useful to others.
Mint very quickly gave me the feeling of original devs cashing out just in time before the new owners found out its intervals were toothpicks intricately held together
Damn, I went from $50k net worth in 2010 to $3m today on Mint. End of an era. Not sure where to go next
It’s too bad it’s not the US mint. It might help inflation.
To those who have already switched (whether to Credit Karma or another service): What are you using and why do you like it?
I switched before this because I wanted to keep an eye on my credit score. Credit Karma gives me both scores and with more detail than I was getting from Mint.
Does credit karma still at least post transactions? Can’t check myself until I get home from work.
No. I can’t see how I spend my money on there unfortunately. It’s also big on advertising like “you should get another credit card. Here’s some preapproved offers!”
But Tbf, I barely notice the lack because Mint could never get my transactions right anyway and was constantly disconnecting accounts.
I’ve used !ynab@lemmy.world for a while and love it. It’s helped me get out and stay out of debt for 8 years now.
