One of the finance blogs that i read occasionally (The Finance Journey) mentioned a site called Quizzle. This is a source for you to look at your Experian credit score for free. Experian credit scores are based on a scale from 300-900 so it differs from the FICO score you would have. Mine is currently a 774 out of 900. I’ll be sure to pop in every now and then to get a peek at it compared to the score i revealed to me via Wamu.

If you want to use it they also have a budget service that lets you plug in annual or monthly expenses to review your overall budget outlook. I don’t like that you can’t break out the income figures (like my paycheck vs. bike shop or web design) but otherwise it works pretty well. They seem to have focused heavily on a fancy interface but that definitely makes it slow to enter figures, change categories, and generally work with the options they have.
