What Happens When a FinTech App Shuts Down?

Lately, it seems as though there's been a lot of bad news looming over the FinTech sector. Obviously cryptocurrency firms are the largest example of this but, with Robinhood now announcing that it's laying off 23% of its staff, there are other challenges that abound (to be fair, Robinhood's troubles are also partially related to the crypto market). These instances beg the question: what happens when a FinTech service shuts...

Money at 30: Uber Eats Nationwide Shipping Review — A Goldbelly Competitor?

Money at 30: The Power of Parity

As I write this, my wife and I are once again in France. Unbelievably, this is our third visit in under a year as we continue to cover developments at Disneyland Paris for Laughing Place. However, this particular trip is a bit special for a couple of reasons. First, we're here to report on the opening of the new Avengers Campus land — which, as big Marvel fans, we're very excited...

5 Things I've Learned After Making 200 YouTube Videos

Over the weekend, I published a new video on YouTube. That might sound pretty mundane seeing as I do this approximately once a week — but, a day after posting, I learned that this particular posting wasn't as routine as it seemed. Instead, unbeknownst to me, I had just reached a milestone: publishing my 200th YouTube video (which I learned about thanks to VidIQ). Funny enough, this comes only a...

2025 SoFi Checking and Savings Review

 Ever since I started taking an interest in the FinTech sector, one company whose name I’ve seen pop up over and over again is SoFi. That was later sent into overdrive as the company has not only become a household name thanks to its stadium naming rights deal but also because of the company’s continued product expansions. The most interesting development in my mind is SoFi’s acquisition of Golden Pacific...

PayPal Debit Card Review: Earn Stackable 5% Cash Back

In recent weeks, PayPal debuted an updated debit card product (perhaps you've seen the incessant Will Ferrell commercials for it during football games?). With the launch of this card, the company known for online payments is encouraging customers to pay with them anywhere.
