It's now been about six weeks since I've left my home for anything other than 1) near-nightly walks, 2) a couple of drive-thru pick-ups, and 3) one trip to the store. Thankfully, my wife and I are both among those who have been able to do our jobs from home during this time, with only minor disruptions to our income. Of course, this doesn't mean that our finances haven't had...
For many Americans, the past few weeks have brought some major financial changes. While some are just trying to stay afloat, others are already looking ahead and searching for ways that they can be more prepared the next time around. For this latter group, a tool that could help them assess their current money situation and offer some tailored advice would probably be useful — and that's basically what Savology...
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...
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...
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...
The idea of earning cash back on your purchases for seemingly no reason is one of those “if it sounds too good to be true…” triggers for many people. For evidence of this, just type in “Is Rakuten…” or “Is Dosh…” into Google and notice how “legit?” is near the top of the autofill options. Let’s get this out of the way: yes, both Rakuten (formerly Ebates) and Dosh are...
No matter who you are, we could all use a little help when it comes to handling our money. This could mean everything from hiring a financial advisor or talking to a savvy friend to using an app or online service to keep an eye on your spending. But what if you could combine the feeling of chatting with a peer with the features offered by many finance apps? That’s...
These days there's certainly no shortage of tools that can help you build and stick to a budget, monitor your investments, and otherwise keep a better hold on your finances. The latest of these services to come to my attention is Money Patrol. Like Personal Capital and Mint before it, Money Patrol is an aggregator that not only puts all of your money data in one place but also helps...
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...

Chase and Marriott Bonoy have unveiled a special contest while continuing to offer its best-ever welcome bonus. About the welcome bonus and Bold Chat Court Contest: Marriott Bonvoy and Chase have launched a special opportunity called the Bold Chat Court contest. As part of this contest, 10 lucky travelers will be awarded 500,000 Marriott Bonvoy points (for a total of 5 million) as well as $5,000. For this contest, the...
Bilt is once again expanding its travel transfer rewards program — and is even breaking the mold with one new partner. About the new additions to Bilt: This week, Bilt launched partnerships with two more travel brands: TAP Air Portugal and Accor. As a result, Bilt members will now be able to transfer their points to Miles&Go and ALL Reward, respectively. In total, Bilt now has 18 transfer partners including 13...
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. To encourage such behavior, the debit card allows cardholders to earn 5% cashback — although, as you can imagine, there are some important restrictions on that. So,...
