Earlier this month, I put together two posts looking back at the past decade of my life (which you can read here and here). I’ve had a lot of important and formative events happen to me over the past decade – graduating law school, starting my first job, meeting my wife and getting married, quitting […]

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.

A few years ago, my wife and I had to pull a bunch of cash out of our emergency fund in order to fund the final year of her residency and cover some other big bills that came with her purchasing a practice and starting her career. Most people don’t realize it, but unlike medical […]

Sometime not too long ago, my sister-in-law was over at my house and noticed a huge stack of credit and debit cards on my dining room table – probably 75 of them at least. It’s an admittedly laughable amount of cards for anyone to have. “You have a problem,” she opined. That’s a fair assessment […]

One of the things about moving towards self-employment and full-time side hustling (admittedly an oxymoron) is that I’m on the hook for paying all of my taxes. When you’re employed in a regular job, taxes often seem like an afterthought – they just get taken out of your paycheck by your employer without you really […]
