A while back, I attended FinovateStartup 2008, a conference on personal-finance startups. While I was walking around. I met the Wisebread guys and they pulled me into a side room to interview me with some off-the-cuff questions. So here’s the video!

Question, Ramit.. You mentioned Mint and another site, I couldn't quite pick up the name, something like Wasabay?

Great to see you speak!! Video was short and concise, with a lot of good bits of information. It was also nice to see how you comport yourself and not to just rely on static photographs. All around cool. Thanks!

Great interview, and great advice! I particularly enjoyed the last bit of advice - get your information from a number of different sources. So true! I've found some of the best plans are actually a combination of several different financial plans. Picking the best aspects from three or four different plans and creating your own is probably the best approach.

Very nice!
I have the same "bad financial habit". I'm learning to cook for myself though.... It's, ah, a work in progress.

Why wasn't Yodlee mentioned? Mint.com uses Yodlee under the hood. Yodlee has been around for years. It has more features, and no fluff.
