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?"

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.
Unlike the company

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.
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 this was the family of plants called Lamiaceae

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
That's the dream
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.

Lol comments are hilarious. Everyone thinking of a different Mint
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

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
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.
Personal capital works for me
I use budget with buckets. Similar to ynab, however syncing, if you want it, only costs $15/year. Free unlimited trial.

Praise the Nine I thought this was about US Mint.
Well, crap. I use mint to track net spending and give me a forward budget. Time to find something new, I guess.

To those who have already switched: What are you using and why do you like it?

Been wanting to switch to a local-only solution for ages, guess they're forcing me to hurry up :D

F u c k, that spells fuck.
Whatever happened to the free credit report.com band? I know that they didn't get paid for any of the jingles they wrote and so they tried to sue, but I haven't heard from them since then.
It's too bad it's not the US mint. It might help inflation.
Hello, this is post World War I Germany calling. Please hold, we have Zimbabwe on the phone right now
This thing just never worked for me. As in, the product was broken in several ways all of the time.
Damn, I went from $50k net worth in 2010 to $3m today on Mint. End of an era. Not sure where to go next
