Here's another recommendation for Mvelopes left by a reader on my post titled Mvelopes a Winner for a Quicken User:
Count me as another fan of Mvelopes. I had a few problems with it at first (like getting my transactions to download), but overall, I think it's great. I especially like being able to access it from anywhere at anytime. Also, as mentioned above, being able to see at a glance where you stand with your budget is very helpful, and it gives you a more realistic idea of where you are spending.
As I said in the previous post, I'm not sure I could give up Quicken (too many years of data in it) and switch to Mvelopes, but it sounds to me like Mvelopes may be a good complement to Quicken.
For more information, here's how Mvelopes compares to both Quicken and Microsoft Money:
Another thing that pushed me over the edge towards working with them is that they offer people free offers and valuable tools just to get to know them (plus they have a 30-day free trial, so you can't get burned trying them out.) Here are the offers I particularly liked:
Any other thoughts/comments out there?
Seems like a great site, but I am nervous about security. What's your take on data security with Mvelopes

Any time I'm asked to put anything sensitive online I'm very cautious, so this would be an issue for me. For others, it doesn't matter and being able to get your information from anywhere is a big advantage.
I think it gets down to what you're comfortable with.
