Similarly, I thought this was Mint Mobile -- i just paid for a three month contract to use on my work phone
This is not the mobile thing as well? Way too much stuff called mint...
I thought "Oh no! Did Canonical get jealous and do something nefarious?"

Oh phew, I thought this was Linux Mint
I thought it was mint mobile
I thought the same, mint mobile. I was like wtf does credit karma have to do with phone service.
I thought it was Big Mint. Global supply shortages have wreaked havoc on mojito availability!
I thought it was the US Mint, and we’d have no more coins.
I thought this was the family of plants called Lamiaceae

Thank god, I thought this was about the herb.
The herb is a weed that can’t be killed once it gains a foothold.
What'd you put it on your foot for dummy
It is insane how well it grows and spreads.

What I'm gathering from this thread is that too many things are named mint.
I just told my wife Mint was shutting down and she gasped, frozen in shock. I was thinking she was taking it really hard. Took me a minute before I realized she thought I was talking about our favorite Indian restaurant.
I used to use Mint before they got acquired, I stopped in 2012ish for security concerns because back then the way you connected was just giving them your password.
Also it broke all the time and my student loans got stuck while my checking accounts didn't so it ruined my net worth chart which was like 80% of why I liked it.
But, shame it's shutting down even if I didn't like it I'm sure it was useful to others.
Mint very quickly gave me the feeling of original devs cashing out just in time before the new owners found out its intervals were toothpicks intricately held together

Good. Mint sucks. Fuck Intuit.
Use Lunch Money or YNAB.
$100/yr or $15/mo? Wtf
YNAB is a waste of money imo. It's literally just a spreadsheet with a bunch of mumbo jumbo to justify you paying for it while still manually doing all the work.

If someone is looking for a local hosted budgeting alternative, consider using Actual Budget. It's an open source app that's similar to YNAB
https://github.com/actualbudget/actual
Edit:
Also this is an interesting read from the original developer of Actual. Basically, it started as a closed source web app funded by a subscription model. When the business failed, he decided to open source it

Pretty much just gone back to a spreadsheet.
insights about spending up and down per category and automatic categorization was pretty nice.
Budget targets were nice.
I've been meaning to look around for something self hosted or FOSS.
I just set this up myself a few days ago, though because it doesn't sync for non-EU banks, I haven't gone further yet.

Oh thank goodness, I thought this was about junior mints.
Oh thank heavens, I thought they were shutting down the economies of Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey
To those who have already switched (whether to Credit Karma or another service): What are you using and why do you like it?
I've used [email protected] for a while and love it. It's helped me get out and stay out of debt for 8 years now.
Ew subscription budgeting.
Anyone thinking of looking into this ^ it's a subscription product. Saved you a click.

Damn I still use this. Now what should I use for budgeting?
Gnucash can do this and is floss so won't really go away.
The main draw of Mint for me was how it pulled all transactions from all of my financial institutions. Can GnuCash do that too or is it just a FOSS alternative of QuickBooks?
No.
I tried cludging something together with email scraping once but it relied on too many online microservices (zapier etc) and I could never really stabilize it.

Praise the Nine I thought this was about US Mint.
Been wanting to switch to a local-only solution for ages, guess they're forcing me to hurry up :D

Well, crap. I use mint to track net spending and give me a forward budget. Time to find something new, I guess.

I liked using mint for budgeting for years. It felt good to have a sold hold of expenses vs expenditures. But then one day the syncing between my primary credit card and mint stopped working. That was the day mint died for me, I use my primary credit card for everything and pay it off every month to build credit. When mint suddenly wasn't allowed to connect to my credit card to get transactions it became useless.
I tried another budgeting service, but it did budgeting completely different approach wise and I just didn't like it. Oh well such is life I guess, everything I love goes away.
