M1 Finance is an app that I talk about a decent amount on this blog. It’s good because lately, it’s been offering great signup bonuses for new users. And while I think everyone should take advantage of the signup bonus when there’s a good one (and as I’m writing this right now, they’re offering $250 […]

It saves me premium payments but leaves me on the hook for more of the medical bills. Since I’m a light user of health insurance, this is a […]

Not too long ago, I discovered a Twitter account that looks at some of the cringy financial Tik Tok advice out there. It’s a lot of the things you would have seen (and still see) on YouTube and Instagram.

A few days ago, I made my yearly contribution to my Solo 401k. It’s something that I’ve done every year without fail since I first discovered that side hustling made me eligible for this extra tax-advantaged account. I have my Solo 401k with Fidelity because it charges no fees and has good investment options, and […]
