I have a confession my friends. It’s not something I’m really happy about, but the truth hurts sometimes. I have a problem and I’m working hard to fix it. I’m a hoarder, everyone. Yes, that’s right, I hoard, but not things, just money! I’m a money hoarder and I’m working to change it. While it…
I have had a Capital One 360 checking account for some time now, so I figured it would be time to provide a review of the service. Many of you might know of this service, but Capital One bought ING Direct and relabeled the banking service to Capital One 360. They offer both a checking and savings account, which are online only. They are essentially an electronic checking and savings account. I have really enjoyed the service and Capital One made it extremely easy to setup. Here is my Capital One 360 review.
I received an email yesterday from Capital One 360. Since I’m a member and have a checking and savings account with them, I was happy to see this change. Capital One 360 has been going through some changes, but they are making it a little better now. You can now deposit cash at Capital One ATMs! That’s right! It used to be a pain to deposit money into Capital One 360, especially cash.
I have been testing out the Straight Talk service for a little bit now, so I figured I would post a review of how it has been going. There have been many questions from readers in regards to this topic, as I am sure many have been wondering how to get away from the big carriers, AT&T and Verizon. Since I am using the Straight Talk bring your own phone program, that is what I will be reviewing. Straight Talk uses SIM cards that are compatible with either AT&T’s or T-Mobile’s network.
I talk a lot about cell phones and their respective services. Why? First, I love technology, absolutely love it. It is my weakness and the main reason why I started my e-commerce business back in the day. Second, I realize cell phones are very popular. Almost everyone has one and they are now a mainstay in our lives. Third, I feel everyone deserves the opportunity to get good service at a good price. I typically review and talk about discount services instead of the big boys, but that all depends on how I feel! I review these services to give anyone the opportunity to find a feasible solution to the big name carriers. Why do you need to spend $150 a month just for two smartphones? I don’t think so. Here, I will show you how to unlock your phone on the big carriers.
You have probably heard of the saying “money talks!” If you haven’t then it is a simple premise. If you have money, then you have power and influence. The more money you have, then the more power and influence you have. We see this premise in action everywhere really. It really shows up in business and politics. I figured I would share a story with you that would bring home this phrase. You probably don’t need a story to understand that money really does talk, but you are getting one anyway. This is about a co-worker that was deep into politics, so much that she was planning a career switch.
Looking For A Cell Phone Provider? There is a large shift out there with regards to mobile phone providers. People are looking to lower their monthly expenses and cell phone service has become a viable opportunity. I used to be with Verizon, but after having a hard time with their customer service and paying a…
My home air conditioner is severely inefficient, so my wife and I decided to look into saving money another way. We love to have our room very cold when we sleep, but we just couldn’t afford it. In a way to save money, I bought a window air conditioner and looked to see how much I would save. Check out my saving experiment and see how much I was able to save each and every month.
I have been following the questions posed by Chase Bank back in February about average couples. It is pretty much about love and money. I answered the questions in my head, but not on here because I found one question that I wanted to dig into deeper. I have been having an internal debate about this question. There are some people on the side of a simple yes. They would pay off their spouse’s debt if they had it. They feel that their money is together. Some feel it is part of being married. I, on the other hand, don’t know what I would do, but I lean very much toward no. I think this question is conditional. Let me explain my reasons.
Ever since July 2012, I have been focusing on building my savings account, my investments, and my net worth. Everything that I do has been focused on building my wealth and getting on track for retirement. I have been so focused on making more money, saving money, and getting on track that I have forgot to focus on things that I enjoy. I have kept a sharp eye on finances and got blurry vision on my hobbies. I need to get back on track and open my eyes completely. I need to refocus my energy toward my hobbies. Are we too driven by money?
Happy Father’s Day! I hope all of you get to celebrate with your family and maybe have a chance to relax. I know I will be having fun on my golf weekend, but I will miss the opportunity to celebrate Father’s Day with my dad. It upsets me a little bit because as a new father, I would love to celebrate with my father. Oh well, there will be others. I am taking this time to write a letter to my father. I hope he gets to read it.
My wife and I decided to put new carpet down on our first floor. I talked with quite a few people that have recently had carpet installed in their home. I got all of their reviews and opinions. With the reviews and opinions, I found that Empire Today did a good job with most of the people that I spoke with. This is my rundown of my experience with Empire Today.
