Hello Mint Readers

I’m Lee Sherman, Editor of Mint’s blog. As the newest face of Mint, I wanted to take a minute to say hi.

Just as Mint’s software streamlines the management of your personal finances, our content delivers a fresh perspective that gives you the actionable advice you need to make the right choices about how to spend and save your money.

We understand that the challenges you face are different from your parent’s generation and your expectations about how you live, work, and play are different too. If you’re just getting started in managing your money, look to Mint.com for how-to information on everything from planning a budget vacation to improving your credit rating. We’ll continue to provide you with money saving tips on all of the things you do, whether that’s buying concert tickets or going on a surfing trip to South Africa. We’ll also be covering topics that you won’t find on other personal finance sites. For now, those will remain our little secret.

And we can’t do it without you. Our hope is that the Mint blog becomes a two-way forum for your thoughts, hopes and aspirations around the money you work so hard for every day. We encourage you to reinvest—not just in stocks or mutual funds but also in your relationship with your money. Just like in your personal relationships, a small investment can pay huge dividends. As we like to say around here, “money is for living,” and that philosophy is at the heart of every blog post we write.

Let us know what kinds of articles you’d like to see on Mint, either by leaving a comment here or writing me directly at lee@mint.com. A penny for your thoughts?
