conversation: User (jamesyboy): "I have been using Mint for over a year now, and here are some things I have personally noticed are lacking. I wish they would work on these features. I would pay or even donate to see these fixed:\n\nCreate budgets from tags: Currently you can only create budgets using the categories. While you can create your own categories, with tags, you can apply a transaction to multiple budgets or be able to combine tags.\n\nHide categories so they don't show up in the list: ability to trim the list of expenses. There are some things that never come up, I  should be able to hide the categories so I don't have to scroll forever (especially in the phone app) \n\nCreate "budgets" for savings: Mint Canada doesn't have the goals feature, and even if it did, it is more for if you have the goal amount already in mind. What I want is to be able to track, inside mint, the amount of money I want to save in particular accounts as an incentive to do so (also the line should be red then yellow then green when you hit your monthly savings "budget")\n \nIntroduce the goals feature in Canada: as mentioned above, the goals feature doesn't work in Canada. Even if it just included the ability to set goals without the US version's ability to compare with others, that would be good enough for me.\n\n(Another Canada thing) Add the ability to pull info from the NSLSC (National Student Loan Service Centre) website. This has been mentioned in Mint's forums for years now with not much explanation given why it isn't included. I still have my loan in under a manually entered as a "property" that I have to edit every time I make a payment but that should be unnecessary.  \n  \nBe able to categorize accounts manually: My TFSA account shows up as an "investment" account and it won't allow me to change it to a simple savings account.  \n\nedit: ANother big one I just remembered: Being able to manually add loans! As mentioned above, I made my student loan a property because the NSLSC wasn't in their database.\n\n\nHave you found any little annoyances or thought about features that would make you name your firstborn Minty (if it's a boy) or Mintelina (if it's a girl)?"
  Self: "The ability to input how many troy ounces of silver/gold/platinum/palladium I own and track their worth with the current spot prices."
  science4sail (science4sail): "More specifically, track prices for commonly traded commodities."
  Self: "That would be best.  I have some copper and indium laying around."
  science4sail (science4sail): "&gt; I have some copper and indium laying around.\n\nAre you some sort of mining enthusiast? I don't think most people even know what indium is (I myself read that as "iridium")."
  Self: "Kinda, I wouldn't call myself an element collector, but I have Uranium ore, Thorium-Tungsten alloy, Bismuth, and Yttrium lying around.  I still have more stuff laying about too."
