Buying wine is almost as fun as drinking it. Almost.
I love wine. What takes 10 beers to do takes about 2 glasses of wine. After those glasses I want to make sweet love to the woman in my life. I would pay more too for enhanced investment features in Mint. Every time I log in it either has it right or it doesn't, sometimes doesn't load doesn't get today's values until tomorrow, etc.
Only thing is has semi-accurate is my allocation of ETFs.
I use a combination of Vanguard's built in stuff with Google Finance. Any other suggestions?
I really would just like to to be able to see my allocation chart, price changes all on one page with a nice interface.

thinks i learned about the past year:
i spent an average of $1200/mo on food for 2 people. %50 of that is on groceries
the wife and i bought a little over $2000 worth of polo clothes
we spent (mostly her) $1500 on hair salons
$5300 on alcohol & tobacco (i really need to split these up and track separately)
since ive started tracking stuff in quicken, roughly 5 years, we've spent $480,000 including payroll taxes

I like that you included a total number. I'll share mine.
Since August 2011 since I started tracking, it appears I spent $17,321 which includes rent and all that jazz.
From what it appears, I live off about 23,000 a year. Which is what I lived off during college.

It really opens your eyes when you look at it like that. I don't feel like we spend a ton of money. Of course 25% of that number is taxes, but it still lights a fire under your arse to save more

Sure does. I didn't include taxes, its too upsetting.

yeah, poor people don't understand. It sucks having a huge chunk taken by the government and watching it get blown on stupid shite. Couldn't imagine being one of those at the top of the tax bracket.

Correction...it sucks having a huge chunk taken by the government and watch it get blown on stupid government shite as opposed to me being able to blow it on stupid me shite that I might get some enjoyment out of.

Last year, I spent over $16K on dining out alone.
Granted, the majority of it was business, but damn.
