Best Financial Apps to Use: Monarch Money
Although I used to use Simplifi as my main budgeting app, I have since switched to Monarch Money. One of the main reasons I originally switched was that I got a 90-day free trial, but after trying it I decided that it was a better experience than Simplifi. One reason I prefer Monarch Money to…

Start Listening to the Business Wars Podcast
I recently started listening to a podcast called “Business Wars”, which is produced by Wondery (I started listening after hearing a bunch of ads for it on “How I Built This”). Each season of Business Wars dives into a different business competition, with recent seasons being Pixar vs. Disney and Apple vs. Microsoft. The format…

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…

Best Apps to Look Into: SoFi
If you are a football fan, you have probably heard of the name SoFi before because of SoFi Stadium (home to the Rams and Chargers). If you don’t know what SoFi is though, it is an online bank. SoFi is FDIC insured up to $250,000, which is one of the main reasons I felt comfortable…

Best Science Fiction Books to Read: Hail Mary (Andy Weir)
I am a big science fiction fan (more fiction than science though, as if it goes too heavy into the details I tend to not understand) and have been looking for a book similar to The Three Body Problem series by Cixin Liu. I saw that the best audiobook of the year was called Project…

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 Websites to Investigate: Treasury Direct
The stock market has been pretty unpredictable recently, and I have been hesitant to deploy more cash with so many experts saying there is a high risk of a recession coming. However, one positive from this market (and the high interest rates/inflation) is the increased return of bonds and savings accounts. Treasury Direct is a…

Best Websites to Use: Vivid Seats
While in a previous post I recommended to use Tickpick when buying sports tickets, Vivid Seats is another fantastic option that I have come across. Tickpick is still cheaper most of the time for seats, but Vivid Seats is running a promotion (I am not sure if it is for a limited time or not)…

Best Podcasts to Listen to: Hidden Brain
While I tend to keep the same podcasts on rotation, every now and then I will venture out and try to look for a new one (most of the time this happens when my regularly scheduled podcasts aren’t released and I run out of content to listen to). The newest podcast that I started listening…

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…
