Team Citi can’t keep track of its own money, but they will track yours and that of your neighbor, thanks to the Bundle, which “removes the veil of secrecy from how other people save and spend their money.” For example, you can learn that “Singles, 36- to 49-year-olds in Dallas spend $57 per month on hobbies. Who knew?” The main argument is that “being privy to the financial habits of others helps guide a person’s own activity.” What? Okay no but seriously– WTF?

I want to know who spends more on strippers… Dallas or Stamford. Oh wait, that’s a cash-only business. There’s limits to your analytics, Vik.
Odd. The top HOUSEHOLD income bracket on the Bundle site is “$125k and up.”
Hard to draw any conclusions there for a NYC resident…
@1 Dallas is the home of the 30k millionaire. No room in the budget for hobbies when it’s dress-to-impress time 24/7.
true story, I was at a bank there (not shiti) a little more than a year ago, and this 30-something blonde with fake D’s shows up in her still-has-the-dealer-plates CLK 550. Why is she at the bank? Account overdrawn
this “Bundle” is nothing more than a bundle of crap. It says nothing of value, and it blows my mind how this site attracted financing. what is the business model? where do they get their data? it says that my “bracket” spends 34.6% of income (midpoint of salary) on tobacco and firearms, this is clearly a typo
You’re surprised that Citi’s “analytics” suck ass?
Really?
