Earlier this year, it was pretty unclear what the future would hold for rewards credit cards. While it seemed as though issuers might start cutting back, things turned around as they, instead, added new features to help cardholders get more value out of "the new normal." Now, things are ramping...
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...
It's now been nearly a year since I decided to apply for the American Express Platinum card. Of course, the landscape is quite a bit different now than it was at the time when I was looking forward to all those airport lounges I'd get to visit. Despite this, as...
It's now been a few years since I first came across Square's Cash app. At the time, I had already been familiar with Square's card readers and POS machines that are a staple at many small businesses, so I figured I'd check out their peer to peer payment tool and...
During this increasingly-extensive time of quarantine, it seems that many among us have taken on new hobbies. In some cases, these have been somewhat productive, such as learning a new skill, language, etc. Meanwhile, it would appear from stock shortages that others have discovered the awesomeness of the Nintendo Switch....
In recent months, I’ve found myself growing increasingly interested in the concept of universal basic income (UBI). Even before Andrew Yang’s presidential run helped bring the idea further into the mainstream, I had come across articles and books devoted to the topic.

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.
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...
