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...
Earlier this week, Hotel.com unveiled a new rewards card being issued by Wells Fargo named the Hotels.com Rewards Visa. Although I've never actually used the site, as a growing credit card enthusiast, I was interested in seeing what it had to offer. Yet, what I found as I looked at...
If you happened to miss my Travel Tuesday entry this week, I'm currently in Las Vegas on a what I'll call a "change of scenery but stay safe" trip. As you might expect, it's been an interesting experience as the city attempts to bring guests back and revitalize the Strip...
Just in case you didn't already have enough subscriptions to your name, Walmart is rolling out another one. Earlier this week, the retail giant announced the launch of a new service its calling Walmart+. Apparently they wanted to join Disney, ESPN, Apple, and others by tacking on the mathematical symbol...
I'd have to imagine that most people reading this (at the least the ones based in the United States) are familiar with T-Mobile. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that a significant percentage of my readers are on T-Mobile or have been at some point in their lives. And...

Following the massive Equifax breach, many Americans are placing freezes on their credit to prevent hackers and identity thieves from opening new accounts in their names. Not only did I recently discuss the option of freezing your credit but also went ahead and did it myself. In my state, this...
I'm not sure I need another credit card (it especially pains me to want a new card right after I froze my credit), but I'm being 100% honest in telling you I'm strongly considering this new Uber Visa. With impressive point categories, seemingly simple redemption, some added perks, and no foreign transaction fees all without an annual fee, this really does sound like the card for me.
If there's one part of our financial culture that confuses and worries me, it's tipping. See, I want to be a good person and give a nice tip (even if I really don't want to spend the extra cash), but I just never know what even constitutes a "good tip."...
