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...
After a bit of an extended summer and a brief dip into winter territory, it's finally starting to feel like fall in my neck of the woods. While I don't have as much affinity for all thing Halloween like others in my circle of friends seem to, autumn has long...
Have you ever thought about selling your current car and being chauffered everywhere instead? Well, now Lyft is trying to make that dream a reality... sort of. As TwoCents reports, the ride-sharing service is rolling out a new monthly ride plan that's clearly aimed at getting people to reconsider their...
A few weeks ago, I decided to extend my already-lengthy stay in Orlando so that my wife and I could celebrate our anniversary at Walt Disney World instead of having to drive back home. The problem with this was that I wouldn't be able to stay in the timeshare I...
