Mint's Final Days: Why I Moved to Monarch for My Money Moves! 🦋


Hey Reader

After over a decade of loyalty, my journey with Mint Budgeting has come to a close. Credit Karma, its parent platform, made the decision to shutter Mint, leaving me on the search for a new way to track my money. Mint has been integral in witnessing my net worth grow over the years, and I'm immensely grateful for the insights it provided.

Why I Chose Monarch

Monarch Money caught my eye among the sea of options for a few reasons. First off, it's a paid platform, so no pesky ads cluttering my financial view. You know the saying: if you're not paying for the product, you are the product. Tired of constant credit card offers and financial product pitches when all I wanted was to manage my money hassle-free.

Monarch Money (referral link), priced at $14.99/month or $99.00/year, offers a refreshing ad-free experience, allowing me to focus solely on managing my finances without interruptions.

Additionally, Monarch's seamless transition from Mint was a game-changer. Despite having thousands of transactions across various bank and credit accounts in Mint, the entire process took me less than an hour. For individuals with simpler financial setups, it could be completed in under 30 minutes, while new users with no previous data to migrate could be up and running in less than 10 minutes.

Now that I've Been a User...

I love it! I'll just share some pictures of some of my favorite features. It will need time to learn my patterns and be more accurate but still loads of fun.

If you're interested in Monarch Money and use my link, you'll get a 30-day trial instead of the usual 7-day. Another feature I haven't played with yet, creating goals in the app. You can create goals like saving up for emergencies, a vacation, a car, paying down debt, and much more!

I saw a post recently where someone said they don’t like the term financial literacy because it could make people feel like they’re financially illiterate. And I get that. No one wants to feel like they’re failing at money. I never want you to feel like you’re failing at money. Here’s how I see it instead: financial literacy isn’t about what you don’t know. It’s about what you can learn. It’s a lifelong process, and no one just wakes up one day suddenly knowing everything about money. That’s...

There are almost 100 people signed up for Fluent in Finances (an email challenge making it easier to talk money). I’m so excited that there are some many people eager to improve their financial literacy! Understanding money made it simpler for me to manage and grow my money. And I want that for you too! Also, I celebrated my 12-year wedding anniversary! My husband and I had a beautiful celebratory dinner yesterday and you can check out the deets here! Also, in a moment of vulnerability, I had...

When I graduated from nursing school in 2011, I knew next to nothing about managing money. I paid my bills, spent the rest, and hoped for the best. That was the extent of my financial strategy. It wasn’t until 2018 that I started listening to personal finance podcasts. Suddenly, I was hearing words and concepts I had never come across before, like sinking funds, debt-to-income ratio, and index funds. At first, it felt like learning a new language. But the more I listened, the more I started...
