Welcome to another edition of Simple Savings Sunday! I love these little tidbits of savings advice as much as the next person. I really do! Today is going to be one that might confuse some of you and it’s about shopping for the lowest price. Now, I’m not saying shopping for the “best” price, but…

It has been some time since I wrote my final goodbye to Verizon. I left Verizon back a few years ago and then finally was able to get my wife to switch. Coverage was great, but the price was outrageous. Either way, I had been looking for a new service provider for some time and there were…
Do you have debts that you are considering paying your debt off early? Everyone wants to be debt free (well most of us do), but did you know there are some cons to paying off your debt early? Depending on your situation, paying it off early could damper your financial situation, so make sure you…
No matter what your goal, or how long it takes you to get there, the chances of you succeeding at your goal is based largely on your willingness to persevere. Why is it that perseverance breeds success? Let’s start with the definition of perseverance. Dictionaries defines perseverance this way: Perseverance: steadfastness in doing something despite…
As most of you know, we moved into our current home last June. We have a nice sized yard and a really nice neighborhood. What we don’t have is a house that was move in ready. Well, it was, but we wanted to change many things. It’s been months and we still have too many…
There’s a dirty feeling I get every time a check comes and I see that stupid tip line. I’ve never like tipping, not because it’s rewarding those who do their job well, but because it’s how employers use customer’s tips to pay their staff. There are many people who think tipping is good, but also…
My friends over at Motif Investing created this great infographic on how to grow your wealth with simple investment strategies. As regular readers know, I’m a fan of infographics. I feel they are easy to follow and some of them provide awesome visuals on a topic which might be boring otherwise. If I get a…
I’m sure most of you have heard the phrase “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!” The basis of this quote or phrase is when you are given an opportunity, do something with it. When life gives you a lemon, don’t just say “thanks” and move on. Do something with the lemon, like make lemonade. To tell you the truth, I kind of live by this quote. I know I got my drive from my parents, who work their butts off and do well doing it. They never let their foot off the gas. When life gives them an opportunity, they tend to take it. I’m the same way. Not only that, but I try and find my own lemons on occasion. I don’t always like to wait for life to give me a lemon, I want to find it and create the opportunity. Though this quote is inspirational, I don’t feel it tells the entire story. I wanted to expand on it and make it my own, because I can!
I have been reviewing cell phone providers for a long time, longer than this blog has been around. I have a few “test” phones around my house just for this purpose. The reason I do it is because I got really tired of paying inflated prices on the big networks. I had Verizon for a long time and just accepted their prices. They do have one of the best networks around, but you pay a premium for it. I was never mad at their service, just their prices. I broke up with Verizon nearly two years ago and have since been on a mission to try my hand at other networks. Today, I am going to provide you with my Boost Mobile review.
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.
T-Mobile is at it again with a great new promotion for those looking to save on their monthly cell phone bill. T-Mobile now is offering their Family Plan up to 4 lines for only $100 a month. Yes, for you math geniuses, that is only $25/per month per line. Now, you can really only get a cheaper plan on Republic Wireless, but this is going to be the next best thing. I just wanted to share this with you as I know a lot of my readers like to save money on their cell phone bills. I do to and that is why I review so many services. Anyway, here is the gist of the offer.
