Is Bestow Term Life Insurance Right For You?

Americans seem to have a love-hate relationship with insurance. While many love the benefits that come with being covered by health insurance, car insurance, renters insurance, etc., seeking out a policy isn’t always top of mind. Furthermore, when it comes to certain types of insurance such as life insurance, many would rather not think about the unpleasantries associated with them. Alas, term life insurance can be an important product for...
Tally Save app

Tally Save App Review

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. At the time that I joined, the app was in beta but has since rolled out on the Apple App...

Recently, Apple sounded the alarm and built up hype as it stealthily revealed the debut of a new iPhone. Well, a new-ish iPhone.

Dubbed the iPhone SE — or the second-generation iPhone SE, technically — this new smartphone features the...
Start From Zero

Money at 30: "Start from Zero" Book Review

Something I often forget about myself is that I am technically a business owner. However, in my mind, there's a big difference between working for yourself and being an actual entrepreneur. With that in mind, I don't often look to books about business or entrepreneurdom (if that's even a word) as I didn't really think they'd apply to me. Yet, when I was recently offered the chance to check out...

Money at 30: Wikibuy Review

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: Silver Linings — How this Crisis Might Help My Finances in the Long Run

As I'm sure I don't need to tell you, now is quite a strange time in America and other countries around the world. On the whole, things are decidedly not so great.

Money at 30: Save Money on Essentials with These Apps and Tools

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...

Money at 30: When a "Rainy Day" Arrives — Rebounding from a Financial Setback

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. While everything went well medically, the procedure was, shall we say, a bit...

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.
