How To Get A Google Home Mini For $5
*This below offer is expired and is no longer valid. Even though I try not to spend with reckless abandon, I’m still a sucker for smart home technology. When I was at FinCon last month, I managed to win an Amazon Echo Dot and have had that thing sitting on my shelf for the past month. […]
The Many Ways To Get Triple Tax-Advantaged Savings
It’s open enrollment season right now and I’m a little bit bummed. For the past few weeks, I’ve been getting text messages from my previous employer (which happens to be the State of Minnesota) reminding me to enroll in my workplace benefits for the coming year.

Using Airbnb To Create Your Home Maintenance Fund
Last November, our furnace went out. It wasn’t a good time for that to happen.
