Did you spend too much on the holidays?

You might want to check out Mint.com. The Web site features ways for you to track your spending, find bargains, and stay informed about your money. Their motto: "Put your finances on autopilot."

But if you're in a tailspin after spending too freely over the holidays, Mint wants to help with that too. They're promoting a contest to pay off your holiday bills -- or at least $5,000 of them. (You didn't go more than $5,000 into debt did you?) You'll have to submit a video or written story, and visitors to the Mint Web site will vote on whose straits are most dire. Ten finalists will come out of that process, and Mint will do the rest.

For more information, here's a December story about Mint in the magazine Fast Company.
