One of the nice things about starting my new job (don’t worry, more to come on this in a future post) is that I’ve been able to cut my bike commute down to a really comfortable distance. What was once an 8-mile, 45-minute bike ride to work has now been reduced to a 3-mile, 15-minute […]

Editors Note: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here. It’s been a while since I wrote about credit cards, but I thought now would be a good time to talk about them because of a recent rule change that Chase made that’ll likely change up your travel hacking strategy.

It’s moving season in my neighborhood and, as a result, the streets are getting filled with trash as the college kids in my neighborhood move out. For someone like me, it’s like Christmas. There’s more trash out there than I can even realistically grab. If you’re a new reader, you’re probably wondering what the heck […]

Every once in a while, I like to listen to a little Dave Ramsey. And while I don’t agree with a lot of the things he says, I do concede that he does a good job of motivating people to pay off their debt. His secret is how simple and doable he makes paying off […]

For over a year now, I’ve been tracking what I’ve been earning each month from side hustling using sharing economy apps.  I never really tracked what I was earning before starting this blog – I just knew that I had some extra money coming in. Tracking this income has really opened my eyes up to […]
