The wife says too big.

My new speakers. Got these vintage Altec Lansing Model 19 speakers for cheap and removed and replaced all the beat up/broken wood veneer, stained them and put a few coats of polyurethane on them. I think they fill the space nicely and sound great.

For size reference, photo is next to a 65 inch TV.

What say you, CF? Too big? Not big enough? Adequate?

Personal finance app for beginners

Hello! What is a good personal finance app for people with disorganized basic finances who are trying to get organized? For now, I'm just looking for something that can handle income and expense categories. It should have some way to import a statement (i.e. quickbooks format or CSV) from an external bank account, or have some way to link to a bank account to get transactions. It would be best if it were an online app with web and phone access. Free would be ideal, but a small monthly fee would be acceptable. For now, we don't need investing capability, just basic household finance. The app should also have a simple report feature (basically to show how money is being spent).

There are alot of internet recommendations for Mint, but it seems that Mint has now been merged into Credit Karma, and Credit Karma requires opening a new "spending" account with CK in order to get access to the banking functions.

Thanks!

Legend has it that after the angel Moroni showed Joseph Smith the golden plates upon which the Mormon Church was founded, he also warned Smith to make sure to heed the oft-forgotten inscription located on the scratched up backside of the plates: "BEWARE THE COVETED FIFTH SPOT LEST IT BITE YOU IN THE BEHIND IN LUBBOCK."
