Whenever I bring up my various side hustles, I’ll sometimes get criticisms that these gigs aren’t worth doing since I have to pay taxes on that income. I was reminded of this in a recent guest post I wrote over on Money Wizard, where I talked about how I’ve made around $90,000 from side hustling […]

Kevin is an attorney and the blogger behind Financial Panther, a blog about personal finance, travel hacking, and side hustling using the sharing economy. He paid off $87,000 worth of student loans in just 2.5 years by choosing not to live like a big shot lawyer.

Kevin is passionate about earning money using the sharing economy and you can see all the ways he makes extra income every month in his side hustle reports.

Kevin is also big on using the latest fintech apps to improve his finances. Some of Kevin's favorite fintech apps include:

Personal Capital. One of best free apps you can use to monitor your portfolio and track your net worth. This is one of the apps Kevin uses to track his financial accounts.
SoFi Money. A really good high-interest checking account with absolutely no fees. It also reimburses all ATM fees worldwide. Even better, you'll get $75 if you open an account and have two direct deposits of at least $500 each.
M1 Finance. This is a great robo-advisor that has no fees and allows you to create a customized portfolio based on your risk tolerance. It's great for a taxable account or if you are looking for a place to create a Roth IRA.
Dobot. This is a great microsaving app that monitors the cash flow in your bank account and saves away small amounts for you each week. It's free and you'll get $5 when you use it.
Credit Karma. A free credit monitoring app that everyone should use. It'll notify you of any changes to your credit report and is the best credit monitoring app out there.

If you’re into personal finance or financial independence, you probably know about the HSA (Health Savings Account) and how you can use it as a sort of extra tax-advantaged retirement account. The government gives you a limited number of tax-advantaged accounts, so it generally makes sense to take advantage of as many of them as […]

One of the challenges that I’ve had to deal with during my (admittedly short) investing career is avoiding the persistent urge to tinker. There’s this thing that I think happens to a lot of us as we begin to learn more about investing. We start devouring a lot of information and get a handle on […]
