What is your core monthly expenses?

[pureaudio]

Roughly $3500 normally but still paying off medical bills from my 2nd son being born so it is closer to $4000 right now.

But there is no such thing as a free lunch. How does mint.com make it's money if the service is free to the user? where is the catch?

I use mint as well. The service is free. They even have a free iphone app.
I'm not sure how they make money, but I haven't found any catches.

im too nervous to spend money like that

yeah well you know what Hotel bills can add up too, I dont get to go home on the weekends so I live outta them for months at a time. I had one month in NY a few years ago where my Hotel bill was 122 a night for 34 days straight (or 4148+food+misc expenses+ all the bills at home) yeah that was a shitty month. It left me with 3 bucks a day outta my perdiem at the time to eat on.

I get a good perdiem rate when I am traveling, so I dont have to wait on the office to reimburse me 30 days latter.
