A few months ago, I shared how my love of Teavana helped me score several free drinks at Starbucks. Well, since then, the Seattle company has announced that they will be shuttering each and every one of their Teavana stores in the coming months. Through my tears, I've continued to...
Just over a year ago, when I finally got around to checking my credit score for the first time, my initial destination for this information was Credit Karma. Why? Probably because they advertise on television so I knew exactly where to head. Since then, I've become aware of a couple...
This week, Netflix announced that it was raising prices on two of its popular streaming plans. Imagine, if you will, that you were first alerted to this fact while scrolling through your recent transactions. Then pretend you were so upset that you decided to cancel your service right there on...

I just made $50 in about five minutes. Okay, technically I didn't exactly make it — I found it. That's all thanks to Credit Karma's recently added Unclaimed Money feature. It's definitely worth taking a few minutes to head over to Credit Karma and see if you have some lost funds looking for you!
