American Express Personal Savings Review – A Good Option

ByGrayson Bell 02/04/201404/23/2022

As a reformed spender, I love the opportunity to save money. Unfortunately for all of us savers, the economy is not really geared to rewarding us for holding onto our money. Even with low interest rates, I still love to save money and want to tell you about the American Express personal savings account. One of my goals is to give my readers options on where they store their cash. I am a big proponent of spreading your liquid assets in different places, so adding another savings account is no big thing for me. I am also a big fan of American Express, because they are the holder of one of my favorite cash back credit cards. Since my large banks are giving their savings customers a paltry 0.10%, anything better than that is good for everyone!

Why You Should Choose a Local Appliance Store

ByGuest Author 01/14/201401/13/2014

There comes a time in all of our lives that we have to make large purchases. Let’s face it, that is just how our lives work right now. Our modern lives demand dishwashers, refrigerators, washing machines and dryers. When we find ourselves looking to buy a new appliance, we shop around. We read the reviews, we analyze the reports, and we watch the sales. Here is my story about why you shouldn’t go with the lowest price, but shop based on the type of service that you will receive after the purchase is made.

Dear Verizon, This Is Our Final Goodbye!

ByGrayson Bell 12/02/201312/01/2013

Dear Verizon Wireless, I have been a loyal customer of your cell phone service since I was 16. You provided the best service at a reasonable price. You allowed me to get a nice phone for very little money and pay it off on my bill every month. Then, you would reduce my bill after the phone was paid for. Those were the days! Unfortunately, times have changed. Here is our final goodbye letter letting you know that were are dumping you for someone a little less flashy, but way more affordable.

Why Do We Fall For Ponzi Schemes?

ByGrayson Bell 09/16/201309/16/2013

I wanted to write this article as a follow-up or add-on to my “How You Can Get Rich Quick” article I put up last week. My idea for this is to try and figure out why we, as humans, fall for Ponzi schemes. I have a ton of questions and can only think of a few things that can explain why people jump into such schemes.

A Gym Membership, an Auto-Draft, and a Lawsuit

ByGrayson Bell 04/10/201308/14/2014

A gym membership is a great way to get in shape, but sometimes things can go wrong. When I was in high school, I signed up with Gold’s Gym for a one year membership. I had used the gym everyday to get in shape and I was enjoying it. One day that all changed with Gold’s Gym couldn’t pull money from my account any more. After a few more months, I got a call from a lawyer representing Gold’s Gym. They were suing me. Here is the full story.

Love and Money – An Internal Debate

ByGrayson Bell 04/08/201308/23/2022

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.

My Personal Debt Beginning

ByGrayson Bell 08/26/201212/13/2016

My personal debt story begins the same as many people’s does, with one credit card and the feeling of freedom on the horizon. I got my first credit card during my freshman year in college. I was working at the time, but didn’t earn much. I had enough to pay for gas and go out when I wanted to eat something that was not made during a creative cafeteria night. My credit card was a SonyCard, which gave me points to get free Sony electronics. This was a win-win for me because I love electronics and I love being able to “afford” the things I want. This card was the beginning of a long journey that I will never forget.
