Hi. My name is Kyle Burbank and I’m a Millennial. Yes, I say this like it’s some sort of healing admission given the bad rap my generation has endured in recent years. You know — the talk about how anyone under 35 is lazy, entitled, and doesn’t even know how to really be an adult? While I strongly resent that generalization, I have to say that I've certainly made a few mistakes along the way myself, especially when it comes to finance.
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...
As the current crisis continues, I keep reflecting and relying on my old travel memories to get me by. Lately, this has led me to reflect on my time spent in Tokyo, Japan — a favorite of mine for a long time. Not only was it the destination for my...
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...
In today's society, when do you make the jump into actual adulthood? While some might stick with the traditional "18" answers, others would argue somewhere in the 20s or even 30s. So, when it comes to hitting 40, I guess that means you should really have your s*** together! Although...
As we enter month five of quarantine, the number of canceled trips continues to grow. What's more, while some of us may have been optimistic about the possibility of autumn trips back in March (like when I moved my plane tickets to Paris from April to September), those hopes have...
When my wife and I moved to Springfield, Missouri almost exactly five years ago, one of the selling points (or at least what kept it in the running) was that there was a nearby airport that served a number of destinations. Unfortunately, while it is convenient, flying out of such...
Remember a few years ago when you thought that friend of yours who always had the latest model iPhone was crazy for spending that much? That’s changed in recent years as carriers and others now allow you to lease your device. Taking a page from the auto industry, you have...
As someone who regularly “workations” and relies on a solid Internet connection to be productive while traveling, it’s kind of crazy that I didn’t have a WiFi hotspot of my own until just a couple of months ago. That’s mostly because I had never come across a particular device that...
As much I love USPS's Informed Delivery service, it can sometimes cause me anguish. Specifically, there have now been two times when seeing what was headed to my mailbox led to several stressful hours. I should probably explain... A few weeks ago, I saw that I had some piece of...
So is this new Starbucks Rewards Visa Prepaid Card worth it? In short, maybe. If you're somehow not already a Starbucks Gold Cardholder but shop there with any frequency, getting automatic status is a great thing.
