Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card Review
by Kyle Burbank
Ever since my financial awakening and my decision to start using credit cards again, an obvious trend has developed. You see, anytime I get a new card and say to myself (and to my wife), "I think we're all set now," I inevitably find another card that tempts me with its rewards. That's what happened with the Chase Sapphire Preferred — except that it wasn't the card's primary rewards that... Book Reviews
Money at 30: "Cashing Out" Audiobook Review
by Kyle Burbank
It's time yet again for another personal finance audiobook review. This month, I had the chance to check out Cashing Out: Win the Wealth Game by Walking Away by Julien and Kiersten Saunders of the Rich & Regular podcast. Having seen this duo at past FinCon events and all over personal finance Twitter, I was excited to pick this one up on Audible and give it a listen during my... Money Management Product Reviews
Fold Spin, Spin+ Bitcoin Rewards Debit Card Review
by Kyle Burbank
Not long after I initially reviewed the Bitcoin rewards app Fold, I got an email informing me that I'd made it off the waitlist and would have the opportunity to try out their new debit card. Since then, I saw the product evolve as an early adopter before the card even went truly public. However, speaking of evolution, the Fold debit card recent underwent another round of changes that have... Pets
Money at 30: The Cost of Pet Ownership: Our Actual Expenses with a New Dog (So Far)
by Kyle Burbank
Last week, my wife and I welcomed a new member to our family as we brought home a pup we've decided to name Rigby (in case you were wondering, our friends have a dog named Eleanor). Miss Rigby is two years old and is a Frenchton. Specifically, she's apparently 3/4 French Bulldog and 1/4 Boston Terrier — although we think her face looks more Boston overall. Anyway, as you can...

Money at 30: Are FinTech Accounts Worth it When APYs are High?
by Kyle Burbank
After more than two years of near-nothing interest rates, high-yield savings accounts are back. Over the past several weeks, APYs across several accounts have skyrocketed and, in many cases, are now pushing toward 2% APY (as of this writing, that is). And, with the Federal Reserve widely expected to keep raising interest rates, these could go even higher shortly. So, the question for me has become: If more traditional savings...

2022 Bumped Review — Yes You Really Can Earn Stocks When You Shop Online
by Kyle Burbank
With a stellar line-up of brands on board and an easy-to-use platform, Bumped has quickly become one of my favorite financial apps to use. With Bumped still in its public beta phase, I'm very much looking forward to seeing what happens with the app from here. If all goes according to plan, I believe the app could very well change the way we think about brand loyalty schemes, while also... Credit Score Reviews
Money at 30: ScoreMaster Review
by Kyle Burbank
Over the past decade or so, it seems that the general public has really started to understand how important credit can be to their everyday lives. While I say this anecdotally, the rise in average credit score does support my theory. Unfortunately, even if you have a basic idea of how credit works, bettering your scores isn't always so straightforward. That's where the service ScoreMaster may be able to help....
