In the years since I started writing about personal finance, I’ve become mildly obsessed with two topics: 1) personal finance apps and 2) earning cash back. That’s why, as soon as I heard about the app Dosh, I knew I had to give it a try. Cut to now years later and Dosh has grown tremendously, bringing easy-to-earn cashback to more and more users. In that time, the app has...
When it comes to managing your finances and making better money moves, automation has been a gamechanger. That's why we've seen a number of apps emerge, each putting their twist on auto-savings and the like. Among these options is Guac — an app that aims to help consumers contribute money toward their savings goals as painlessly as possible. So, how does Guac work and does it succeed in its mission?...
A few months back, I got an Amex Offer for a service called Aura — so, naturally, I decided to check it out. Funny enough, not long after joining, I went through a period where it seemed as though all my favorite YouTubers were doing sponsorships for the platform. This leads me to believe that more people are probably wondering exactly what Aura has to offer. With that in mind,...

Over the years, wireless network provider T-Mobile has routinely ventured outside of the realm of telecommunications. A prime example of this is the brand's banking account T-Mobile Money.

In that same vein, the brand has now introduced T-Mobile Dining Rewards, allowing customers to earn cashback on...
There are times when I download an app on my phone... and let it sit there for months before I truly dive into it. Admittedly, that's exactly what happened with Rocket Money. Yet, when I did get around to giving the app I try, not only was I impressed with what I found but also managed to test out some of the features that make the service unique in my...
These days, it feels as though everyone has at least a few streaming service subscriptions. While these memberships may only be a few dollars each, those costs can add up as more services join the fray and prices rise for many. However, there is at least one service you can enjoy without paying a dime: Pluto TV. Pluto TV may not exactly be new, but I've noticed that the service...
First the bad news: considering all the major data breaches that have hit retailers, websites, and freaking credit bureaus alike, there’s a very strong chance your personal info has been compromised at some point. Luckily, in addition to steps you can take, such as freezing your credit reports to prevent criminals from using this data, there are a growing number of tools you can use to foil thieves in the...
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...
