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...
While some Starbucks fans were disappointed and/or irate about the changes made to the Gold Card program last year, tea drinkers like me have made out like bandits. So if you're a Teavana regular and you haven't already, I highly recommend joining the Starbucks Rewards Program and getting your free...
Writing and publishing a book is a major accomplishment that you should be proud of. Unfortunately, all too often would-be authors never reach the finish line because they get overwhelmed by the process. Don’t let this happen to you! By setting attainable goals for yourself, creating the right writing environment,...
So, if you're considering trying your hand at changing your vehicle's oil, don't let that annoying maintenance light hold you back — hit up Google instead. Not only will you save a few bucks but, if you're like me, you'll also feel like a freaking genius afterward.
I just made $50 in about five minutes. Okay, technically I didn't exactly make it — I found it. That's all thanks to Credit Karma's recently added Unclaimed Money feature. It's definitely worth taking a few minutes to head over to Credit Karma and see if you have some lost...
Home buying is a big deal. While the prospect of owning instead of renting may be as consistently alluring to you as it is to me, unknown costs and unanswered questions can get in the way of making what is ultimately the best financial decisions and turn your money milestone...
For my column this week I thought I’d do something a little different and focus not on how you can save money but how you can potentially make it. About 15 months ago I published my first book The E-Ticket Life all about my various adventures in Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland and more. If...
For as long as I can remember, I've had an odd aversion to alcohol. I distinctly remember running out of the room crying during the Pleasure Island scene of Pinocchio and the apparently famous Tiny Toon Adventures episode "One Beer" left me scarred for life. Whatever the reason for this,...
Last month, a most unpleasant email reached my inbox. It was from our apartment complex informing us that they'd no longer be supplying us with complimentary DirecTV and that our service would be canceled on March 1st. Not to worry though - the message noted that they were making this...
As I've admitted several times before, I find the whole "points and miles" game to be pretty intimidating at times. That's why I'm always excited to find something that I believe I can definitively state is a good deal — and is easy for me to understand. This happens to...
At the very end of last year, news broke that Starbucks was devaluing its Rewards program. For example, redeeming Stars for a latte would now cost you 200 Stars instead of 150 while redeeming for a bakery item would double from 50 Stars to 100. Naturally, like most, I was...
It feels as though, every few weeks, I find myself writing about Bilt again. In my defense, that's simply because the company continues to do interesting things. That brings us to this week when it was announced that Bilt and Lyft had entered into a partnership that will now see...
