I've recently discovered this website www.JustThrive.com and have been using to...well...run my life.
Thrive brings all your credit card, checking, savings, retirement, and investment accounts into one place so you can easily see what you have, what you owe, and where you can grow. The site helps you get organized, gives you advice and tells you how to maximize your savings, investments etc.
For example: "You can survive 1 day without a job!"
or
"You can buy a home worth $62,480"
Thrive also keeps track of all your spending and reminds you to pay your bills. By analyzing and sorting your purchases you can see where you spend the most -- the site also advises you where to cut down to increase your spending:saving ration.
For example: Last month I spent exactly $234.54 on food -- then it breaks it down into grocerys, restaurants, fast food ect.
Now common sense would say: "Why the HELL would you plug your bank accounts and credit cards into some random website?!?!?!?!"
I DID check out the site with Chase bank first. They're also endorsed by VeriSign Secured, TrustE Privacy, and SmartMoney.
Anywhoo, give it a try. I'd LOVE to hear what you think!

How you finding it? I was considering using this but I'm based in the UK.
I enjoy Thrive, but that is probably not surprising since I work there. *smiles* We're glad to be out there helping people save more and spend less so that they can accomplish their financial goals and build their financial life.
CreatureGrl, if you ever find things you think we can do better, let us know - we improve with feedback!
Thanks for the concise review. I was concerned about the safety of the website but since you said it checks out with Chase, I feel a lot better about joining now. As a recent graduate just joining the work force I feel that this took will help me out a lot.
Thanks! :-)
