On the Overview page on my account, I see a simple Cashflow graph. Is there something a little more along the lines of trends for this information?

About to finance a new car, I am looking for a tool that shows how much a I make and how much remains each month in order to determine what monthly payments we can afford. Is there a tool in mint to help with this??

Great question! This would be a great capability. I would also like to see some forward planning with paychecks. For example, I have $500 to last 2 weeks. How do I prioritize my spending so that I can pay all of my bills without overdrawing. Since I'm in dreamland ... I would like to try out a number of scenarios until I arrive at the right one.

Is not net Income portion of the cash flow graph giving you the trend information? I would like to see the ability to drill down enhanced so that I could pick a month and drill down to see the income and expenses categories for that month and then be able to drill down tot he transactions.

I would also like to see the graph extended for a full 12 months and the ability to do comparison to previous year, quarter or month reviews.

I agree that it would be nice to have the ability to do cash flow projections into the future based on actual bill that are reoccurring and projected spends based on trends. This would be a great planning tool.
