<human>: I have been trying to use an excel spread sheet to keep track of my accounts (savings, checking, and credit card) and am wondering weather mint is a better option. The spread sheet allows me to plan about a month ahead with my paychecks and bills being fairly regular. I'm wondering if mint would allow me to do this without my headaches of not having the spreadsheet mesh perfectly with my account.(I always seem to be off by a dollar or two after a month or so) it would also be nice to see the other information that mint provides in one place. My only concern is the security. I have lifelock(also wondering if this is a good investment) and would this protect me if there was a data breach with mint?

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Is mint useful for short and long term planning and would lifelock protect me in the event of a security breach?
