Some of the best things on the internet really are free! Including free money management and budgeting programs.  Websites such as Wesabe.com and Mint.com are allowing users around the country to manage their money online in innovative new ways.

Yodlee&39;s Money Center was one of the first free personal finance services online. The company develops their software for resale to banks and other institutions and also allows customers to sign up for a free account independently. I&39;ve been a Yodlee user for about three years now and love the convenience of seeing all my checking accounts, savings accounts, credit cards and investments with one login.
