The first thing you need to do when you start getting serious about your personal finance goals is to actually track your expenses.
This can sometimes be hard for people to do since many people have a bank account and a couple credit cards. Getting all the information together can be a task.
Mint allows you to bring all you information into one website. I have several credit cards, a couple bank accounts, and a few savings/investment accounts. When I log into mint I am able to see the balance and activity of all accounts in one places.
Mint also allows you to tag transactions as spending categories. Such as groceries, transportation, and millions of other common categories. Mint makes it easy by tagging transactions from well known establishments. If you go to shell gas station it records it as gas, McDonalds is under fast food.
Mint also has charts and reports that really help you to visualize where everything is going and then you can make a plan to reduce some of the wasteful spending in your life.
