Although both personal loans and credit cards will give you access to a sum of borrowed money, these financial products are completely different. Whether you are better off with one or the other will depend on a number of factors, including amongst other things, your reason for borrowing and your ability to repay. So, why […]
My First Week as a Lyft Driver
This post originally appeared on The Rideshare Guy Blog and Podcast but I thought it would be a nice change of pace for my readers since driving for Uber and Lyft can be a great way to make extra money. The best part about driving is that it barely feels like work yet you can make $30-$50/hr […]
Update: Racking Up 100,000 Miles & $200 Cash with Loyal3
(Update 12/5/14: Loyal3 no longer allows stocks to be purchased via credit cards.) I wrote an article a few months ago about a new company called Loyal3 and how you can use a credit card to purchase stocks for free. Now I don’t really invest in many individual stocks due to the uncompensated risk, but […]

How to Fly on American Airlines for Free (or Close to it)
I’ve worked in the aerospace industry for almost 5 years now since I graduated college. And whenever I tell people what line of work I’m in, they undoubtedly ask if I ever get to fly in the planes I work on for free. Sadly the answer is always no, actually there aren’t a whole lot […]
Get the 2014 US Airways Mastercard Before It Goes Away
Even though the merger between US Airways and American Airlines has been going pretty smoothly, I’ve actually been more concerned about how the merger between the two frequent flyer programs will work. Working in the aerospace industry, I think less competition is a bad thing for consumers but at this point, there’s not a whole […]
Never Buy a Cup of Coffee Again: Buy a Keurig Coffee Maker
There was a time where I actually didn’t like the taste of coffee. I would drink a frappucino every once in a while, but let’s be honest those things taste more like a milkshake than actual coffee. But times have changed, and one of the reasons why I now like coffee is because I actually […]
Gambling Is OK As Long As It’s in Moderation
Gambling in one form or another is something that most people do at some point in their lives. When enjoyed in a responsible manner, gambling can be an activity that is entertaining, fun and exciting. Most people who gamble enjoy the activity this way without any concerns but for others it can develop a problem […]
Announcing the Launch of My Newest Project: The Rideshare Guy Blog and Podcast
You may not have noticed but over the past 6 months, I’ve been outsourcing a lot of the back end work for this blog to other people. I really enjoy writing so I still write all of the Monday/Friday articles but I’ve been getting a lot of help from a couple awesome virtual assistants (VA’s) and […]
How I Got $1750 From the SPG Amex Card 30k Offer
Normally, I won’t even consider a credit card sign up bonus offer unless it’s in the 40,000-50,000 point range. On average, 1 point is worth at least 1 cent so if you can score 50,000 points that means you just earned yourself $500. I make good money at my day job but I still know […]

Nearly everybody can shave at least a small amount off their weekly budget. If you sit down for half an hour and make a list of all the little things you regularly spend money on, you’ll almost certainly be surprised. Most of us are aware of the big expenses – the mortgage or rent, travel […]
The Ugly Side of VRBO
I’m a huge proponent of saving money but when one of your favorite things to do is travel, your worlds can kind of collide. Luckily, I use a lot of the airline miles I rack up from credit card sign-up bonuses to get free flights and hotels. But the latter can often be a lot […]

Does Your State Owe You Money?
One of my friends e-mailed me the other day with a very cryptic subject line: Unclaimed Money. Normally these types of e-mails go straight to my spam folder but since it was from a friend, I figured there might be some validity to it. Sure enough, when I opened it up I saw a screen […]
Are Preferred Stocks a Good Investment?
Even though this blog has seen nearly a 30% increase in readers since the beginning of the year I actually don’t receive many questions from readers anymore. Maybe it’s because my posts are so intimidating or maybe there is another reason. Either way, I always welcome reader questions since I can usually turn them into […]
Do You Pay With Cash or Credit Cards?
Most of the credit card articles on this site have to do with the points and miles you can accumulate by signing up for various cards and spending on daily purchases. But one of the first things I recommend to someone struggling with their spending is to get rid of their cards and start paying […]

Reader Question: What to do With My Company’s Stock Options
I got a very interesting question in my inbox last week from a friend. And to be honest, I had to do a little research before I could give him a good answer. I’ve never worked for a company with options (or been high enough up to receive them) but they are a pretty nice […]
