Credit Karma Money Save (Credit Karma Savings) Review

by Kyle Burbank
As someone who’s written about FinTech for a couple of years now, I’ve definitely spotted a few trends along the way. One of the biggest I’ve seen is the expansions many startups have made by adding basic banking services to their other offerings. Case in point: Credit Karma Savings — which was brought into the world in the fall of 2019. That service has now been rebranded as Credit Karma...

Money at 30: "Buy the Avocado Toast" Book Review

by Kyle Burbank
There sure are a lot of stereotypes about Millennials, aren't there? Nevermind the fact that most media outlets don't seem to know what even constitutes a "Millennial," my generation has often been regarded as lazy and entitled, with other baseless assertions being peppered in over time. One of the more recent (yet still played out) additions to the list of Millennial tropes is that we all blow our money on...

by Kyle Burbank
Each year, I end up reviewing/re-reviewing plenty of different FinTech apps and tools. Along the way, in the back of my mind, I'm keeping track of which of these offerings I'll feature on my best-of list for the new year. Now the time has come for such a list — although I'm instating a bit of a twist this time around. For my 2021 list, I decided to not only...

Guide to No Annual Fee Credit Cards

by Kyle Burbank
When it comes to rewards credit cards, you really can't beat a no-annual-fee option. Sure, there are premium cards with hefty annual fees that may still be worth it, but, overall, there are plenty of advantages to not having to worry about such things. For one, there's less pressure to ensure that you're getting every penny of value that you can out of a card. Additionally, if a card no...

Money at 30: Revisiting Vital Card — Should You Invest?

by Kyle Burbank
It was February of 2018 when I got an email from someone working at the startup Vital Card. They were reaching out to ask if I might peruse their site and do a review of their upcoming product — then set for a fall release. Indeed, I did end up doing a review of sorts but, without the card in hand, I instead focused on reviewing the very premise of...

Guide to Annual Fee Cards That Are Worth It

by Kyle Burbank
If you're like many Americans, you may be wondering "who on Earth would pay for a credit card?" It's a fair question considering that applying for a card with an annual fee is not something to be taken lightly — after all, you'll need to not only pay this fee once but will be also have pay every year (with the chance of the fee increases over time as well)....

Capital One Shopping (Wikibuy) Review

by Kyle Burbank
For as simple and comparatively stress-free as online shopping can be, for frugal folks, it also comes with some dread. Why? Because there may be a way you could be saving more money. For example, have you ever been checking out on a website and nearly abandoned your cart when you realized you couldn't find a coupon code? I sure have. If you're anything like me in this way, then...

Money at 30: 5 Personal Finance Books That Would Make Great Gifts

by Kyle Burbank
Earlier this year, I set out to both read and review more books. Specifically, I wanted to look at books that explored the many facets of money — from how to have and use it to what it actually means. On the whole, I'd say I accomplished that goal (aside from the reality that I was supposed to do another book review today but have yet to finish reading). So,...

2025 SoFi Checking and Savings Review

by Kyle Burbank
 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

by Kyle Burbank
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. To encourage such behavior, the debit card allows cardholders to earn 5% cashback — although, as you can imagine, there are some important restrictions on that. So,...
