Wesabe - Get to Know Your Money

By TheWild1 at 8 August, 2008, 1:44 pm, Categories : Reviews

How many personal finance sites have you visited today? How many of those sites covered something that helps YOU out. Many of the reasons we bookmark multiple sites of the same category is because we know that all of them won’t talk about something that interests us everyday.

Wesabe

But what if I told you there was a site out there that will give you financial advice geared only to YOUR needs? The other day I was pointed to the site Wesabe. Essentially it is a financial account aggregator, which gives you tips based on your spending and money habits.

Basically you can sign up for a free account, link your bank and/or credit accounts (up to 12 for a free account), and monitor everything you are doing on one page.

You will be able to see all your account activity just as though you were looking at a statement or had you logged into your bank account online. By going through each item in your accounts, you are able to tag them. For example, if one item was from Giant, then you could tag that as groceries. Now every time there was something from Giant it will automatically be tagged groceries. Obviously there is a purpose for all this.

Targeted Tips and Advice

As you tag each item, you will be given links to different relative articles in the Wesabe database that gives some tips on how to better that specific item. In the Giant example, you will be linked to an article that shows you how to save money on grocery shopping.

You can set goals, join groups, and interact with all of the numerous members already signed up. You can also find other options based on member reviews. For instance, maybe you were considering eating at Wendy’s, but other members recommend Taco Bell.

The main purpose is to get financial advice geared specifically for YOU and it can all be for free. Check out their tour video below or head directly to Wesabe [VIDEO ENCLOSED].
