Using CrunchyRoll to Watch Anime
I used to watch anime on Netflix or some other websites (if you watch anime, you probably know what I am talking about), but I recently began subscribing to CrunchyRoll’s “Mega Fan” plan ($9.99/month). Compared to CrunchyRoll, Netflix has a small collection of anime in the US, and only has mostly older seasons for the…

Using Rakuten Extension When Shopping
Although I’m not a huge shopper normally, I did make a decent number of purchases during the holidays. While using the right credit card is one way to maximize the “rewards” you get while shopping, another way (that can be used in tandem with credit cards) is to use Rakuten. If you’ve never used or…

Using Google Maps to Track Your Favorite Spots
I’ve always used Google Maps for directions, but have never considered using it for anything else. On my most recent trip though, I started using Google Maps to track any favorite restaurants/spots, as well as any places I wanted to make sure I tried.

Best Apps to Use: Airalo
When I used to travel, I often used the Verizon travel pass for talk, text, and data. While this is a good option to have, I think it is more of a worst-case scenario, and not something that is sustainable for longer term stays (as it costs $10/day). Traveling is really easy if you have…

Best Apps to Download: Draftkings Sportsbook
As a big sports fan, I love sports betting whenever I am in a state that allows it. While Vegas is the most popular and well-known place to sports bet, there are actually better alternatives nowadays if you are in many midwest or east coast states. The best sports betting app, hands down (in my…

Best Websites to Use: Tickpick
If you are going to sporting events, oftentimes the first names you will hear for places to buy tickets include Stubhub, Vivid, Seatgeek, Ticketmaster, etc.; however, one name that is not consistently mentioned much is Tickpick. While Tickpick is a relative newcomer to the ticket space, it has been around since 2011; I have started…

Best Apps to Download: Tandem
If you have ever tired learning a language, oftentimes the most difficult thing to do is to practice speaking consistently. Unless you have people around you who speak the language and are willing to practice, it is difficult to find ways to improve your speaking skills. One app that I have found helpful for learning…

Best Apps to Download: The Points Guy App
After deciding to get into the credit card points game (probably should’ve done it earlier, but it’s ok), I was looking for the best tools to keep track of my points and how to best use them. The site that I had heard of the most is The Points Guy, which is a website that…
