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...
Remember when Netflix introduced something called "Netflix Instant" where users could stream films right to their computer instead of waiting to get their DVDs in the mail? What a quaint time it was, as now every media brand on the face of the earth has decided to stop letting Netflix...
Several months ago, I came across the SoFi Money cash management account and quickly fell in love. With an impressive APY (at the time), other useful perks, and no fees, it ended up becoming my top account outside of my ancient Wells Fargo checking I still rely on for some...
Despite the Apple Card apparently being quite successful for the Cupertino company and their partner Goldman Sachs, the product has still been a bit divisive. Not only does the offering scorn those living outside of the iOS ecosystem but has also become somewhat of a running joke among credit card...
One of my favorite things about reviewing mobile apps is seeing them evolve for the better. This is especially true when the enhancements introduced are ones that I called for in my reviews. To be clear, I'm not at all suggesting that I actually had a hand in manifesting these...
A few weeks ago, I wrote about my first-ever experience ordering from the grocery delivery service Instacart. Cut to today and things, as they say, have escalated. Since that initial order, I've used the service three more times. That's mostly thanks to my decision to try out the platform's paid...
Ah, that familiar feeling of betrayal. First, the promising-sounding Aspiration underwent a series of head-scratching changes. Then, the Uber Visa Card that I exalted so highly was revamped to the point of near uselessness. Now one of my favorite free apps — and one that made my list of the...

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...
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."...
