It’s here my financial friends. The ultimate throwdown! Today, we pit two of the best financial tools against each other to see who comes out on top. That’s right, we are going to compare Mint.com and Personal Capital to see which free tool is better! I got this idea back when someone basically asked me: “Mint.com…
This age old debate is a mental and emotional struggle that everyone deals with. Some deal with it better than others, but there are some that allow it to completely consume them. Anyone that is trying to get out of debt must get a grip on this debate and find a common ground. Wants versus…
I got an email the other day from a reader that asked a good question. Basically, the email asked what the best cell phone plan for kids would be. This reader had a family plan at T-Mobile. It was four lines for $100, so $25 per line. The problem is their kid was using too…
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…

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…
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…
I was lucky enough to be able to try out a new service from TransUnion. I will disclose I was provided the service to try and review. This review is based on me testing the service and my opinions are my own. If you aren’t familiar with TransUnion, then let me give you a quick…
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…
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.
