Spending Trends

[Ave]

1. It appears that I can only get a spending summary in 3 month increments. Is there a way to see total spending overview for a single month and current month to date month to date?

2. When I am looking at the spending Trends category I am shown a Total Spent for 3 months..... right below that is a Monthly average however... the Monthly Average does not equal total spending divided by the three month total? So what exactly is it averaging?

3. Is there a way to view a summary of all the spending categories? The only ones I see a graph for are Entertainment, Gas, Groceries, Restaurants and Shopping.

The interface isn't as smooth as it could be. Play with the sliders.

It seems to me (I'm not associated with Mint in any way) that it's averaging by category and adding up the categories. I'd noticed that too.

Yeah, that'd be nice, wouldn't it? Guess they were too focused on making it pretty. Features ... that's web 3.0. Silly users.

Expect many changes with this page over the next few months...our VP has it slated for a major overhaul.

I totally agree with Ave. I don't have a car and therefore don't want to see an empty chart when I could be seeing something relevant to my spending habits.

The default of showing 3 months is frustrating also.
