Tally Save App Review
by Kyle Burbank
Of all the different types of finance apps I review, my favorites are the kind that reward you with real money. That's why I was very intrigued when I heard about Tally Save — an application that incentivizes saving by giving users points they can cash in for gift cards.

Money at 30: Save Money on Essentials with These Apps and Tools
by Kyle Burbank
Over the past couple of weeks, life in America has unquestionably changed. Perhaps the best example of the fear and anxiety that many are feeling comes from grocery stores and warehouse clubs where bare shelves and long lines have been well-documented on the news and social media. Additionally, at a time when many local and state governments are ordering non-essential businesses to close their doors, supermarkets not only remain open...

by Kyle Burbank
You've surely heard the term "saving for a rainy day" and how it's been applied to the concept of having an emergency fund. So, what happens that that rainy day comes? That's what I'm experiencing this week. Long story short, my wife had to undergo surgery on her wrist last week — something we definitely weren't anticipating.
