Located about three hours away from our home in Springfield, COMO is home to the University of Missouri (better known as Mizzou), which rivals our own Missouri State University. As our Saturday drew to a close, we realized we needed to book a...
Travel Product ReviewsHave you ever been served ads for a product on Instagram so often that you eventually break down and buy it? As a personal finance blogger, this is not a practice I can endorse. However, as someone who reviews products, I have much more tolerance for allowing myself to give in (#content). That's what happened...
Quick TipsIt's that time of year again: Starbucks' Summer Game is back! For some people, this might mean making a few extra coffee runs in order to obtain additional "plays" and, in turn, (hopefully) win more prizes.

Quick TipsAbout a year ago, I started taking an interest in non-alcoholic beer after discovering Athletic. While I've never been a big beer drinker, I have long been curious about the craft beer scene and, honestly, may have even been a bit jealous of how my wife got to try all different types of interesting brew...
YouTube TipsAs of January 2024, my Money@30 YouTube channel is no more. Okay, so the channel I've worked for years to build up and make profitable hasn't really gone away — it just has a new name. Earlier this year, I decided to rebrand it from Money@30 (matching this site, of course) to Fioney, corresponding to...

Hotel ReviewsLast fall, my wife and I kicked off a multi-city excursion by flying out of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.

That's why digital signature services have usually been useful. Then again, these services often also...
