It’s more important to know your debt real time. If you miss a payment, your credit score could be at risk.

That’s what autopays are for.

Well I forgot whether losing password happened before or after 2fa. But I just lost my access to gmail and drove for 2 weeks. Google has people to help recover, but it’s really hard to find info. I searched and found some info on a public discussion thread and was fortunate to get back my account access. If you don’t use the password for years, how can you remember the password?

I’ve had security freeze on our credit info with all 3 credit bureaus for over 15 years or so. Prevents people from opening new acts, loans, etc.

About 10 years ago I tried to get some info with Chase (one of our banks) on possible refinancing. They told me I have no credit after checking my credit report. Companies can’t access our credit info.

My husband bought a vehicle this year. Made the deal and we told them we will return with the cashier’s check in 3-4 days and at that time we will pick up the vehicle. They were afraid to lose the deal so asked if they could run credit report on us just in case but when they did they were told we have no credit. We had to go home and unfreeze for few days so they can run the report and we came home with our new vehicle with small deposit only.

I’ve used Mint for the last 10 years…I like it. It’s nice because my husband and I all have different accounts / log ins and we can view everything in one place without needing each other’s passwords.

We use YNAB. I like it a lot. Much better than quicken because the budgeting is integrated with spending. You allocate what you are saving money for rather than measuring where you spent money. It’s much more intuitive for people who have uneven income.

They have a business version as well. I haven’t tried it, but might work for RE bookkeeping.

(This is more on the budgeting side, not the watching your assets side of the discussion here)

You guys should vote on the poll I created on this thread

Poll

You didn’t say the vote is not anonymous!

I didn’t say it was anonymous either! Well, since all of us are anonymous on this forum, I didn’t think it mattered. Was I wrong?

Never used any of them

Haney, time to create your networth poll… :rofl:

Don’t use any. Quicken for ckg/savings accounts, turbotax for tax, schwab for most investments, and for passwords, just a 3 page paper.

Does this mean I drop down in Hanera’s poll? :smile:

Yes for sure… your networth now is only 25% of what it was before… :rofl:

Secretly, everybody wants to know everybody net worth.
wuqijun couldn’t resist and started a list.
I help to promulgate it.
Now I am deem the perpetrator?

Yes, you are… be happy with your new role… :blush:

I did!

need to create an anonymous poll for net worth. To prevent manch from peeking into the data, the poll needs to be done at a different website
