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...
Ever since I started taking an interest in FinTech and reviewing various apps and services, SoFi has stood out to me as one of the most interesting companies. While they were previously known mostly for their student loan refinancing (something that thankfully doesn't apply to me), in just the past...
This week, without much of the pomp and circumstance Apple is typically known for, the company unveiled its latest iPhone: the iPhone SE. Now, if you're like me, this is slightly confusing because there already is an iPhone SE — I know, because it's what I currently own and use...
A few weeks ago, I wrote an entire post dedicated to cool items I've discovered thanks to Instagram ads. However, this week my wife and I had a slightly different experience on the platform — one that almost led us right into a potential scam. To set the stage without...
Wouldn't it be cool if you could learn about photography from Annie Leibovitz, take in filmmaking tips from Ron Howard, or even get a crash course in magic from Penn & Teller? Well, that's exactly what MasterClass offers — video courses taught but some of the most prominent celebrities in...

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.
