Lessons From a First-Time Home Buyer: Can I Refinance Yet?

by Kyle Burbank
Last month, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by another quarter point. While that's bad news for my high-yield savings accounts (which, in turn, reduced their APYs), the potential silver lining would be a dip in mortgage rates. As I've shared before, when we bought our house, we had to accept a rate of 7.999%. So, although we can afford our payments without issue, we've long had the intent to...

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.
