I agree. I use it for the same reasons. To give me a simple bird's eye view of my finances and to watch out for fraud.

It's even more helpful with my grandmother's finances. My grandfather had handled their finances all his life. After his death, I set up a Mint account for her and it has been invaluable in both its convenience and in helping me contain various crises: overdrafts, missed bills, fraud, bad spending habits. Unfortunately, when it comes to money, seniors are sitting targets.

Not to say there aren't things that could be improved. But it's a long way from suck.
