Money at 30: "The Passion Economy" Book Review

by Kyle Burbank
Have you ever stopped to think about how many people today are doing jobs that didn't exist a decade ago? Or have you talked to someone at a cocktail party, asked about their job, and thought, "How do you make money with that?" If so, then you may have found yourself taking an interest in "the passion economy." Now (well, as of last year), there's a book on this very...

Money at 30: "Get the Hell Out of Debt" Audiobook Review

by Kyle Burbank
After turning to the printed word for my last book review, this month, I headed back to Audible to see what money-related audiobooks I could discover. What I found was Get the Hell Out of Debt: The Proven 3-Phase Method That Will Radically Shift Your Relationship by author Erin Skye Kelly. So, I decided to give it a shot — and ended up quite enjoying the seven-hour (if you were...

Money at 30: "Broke Millennial Talks Money" Book Review

by Kyle Burbank
As much as I've enjoyed listening to audiobooks over the past few months thanks to my Audible subscription, this weekend, it was time to return to the world of physical media by reading a book I've had on my list for a while. Late last year, author Erin Lowry released the third book in her Broke Millennial series, following the original and the Broke Millennial Takes on Investing follow-up. This...

Money at 30: "Die With Zero" Audiobook Review

by Kyle Burbank
Titling a book can be a bit of a challenge — perhaps even more so in the world of non-fiction. Although your subtitle can do a lot of the heavy lifting, your main title needs to be both catchy and memorable while also laying out the premise of your work and presenting a promise you can deliver on. Well, with a title like Die With Zero: Getting All You Can...

Money at 30: "Nomadland" Book Review

by Kyle Burbank
Under normal circumstances, Hollywood's annual awards season would have already concluded by this time of year. Of course, the past several months have been anything but normal — including for the film industry. In any case, as we enter a delayed 2021 awards season, one movie seems to be the odds-on favorite having already won Best Motion Picture - Drama at the recent Golden Globes: Nomadland starring Frances McDormand. Although...

Money at 30: "Know Yourself, Know Your Money" Book Review

by Kyle Burbank
Ever since I decided to start consuming and review more personal finance books, I've realized that I tend to stay in one main arena — namely early retirement and financial independence. However, when looking for recently-released titles, I came across something a bit different: a book called Know Yourself, Know Your Money: Discover Why You Handle Money the Way You Do, and What to Do About It by Rachel Cruze....

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...

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...
