I suggest you read this awesome post by Mo Bitar or don't if it's not something you were gonna do anyhow. I think the article was really neat, however I also think there are times when you are just being social and going with the flow to go for a walk or have some coffee with your friends. Once I felt like the walk, but not the coffee so I just walked with my friends, but didn't do the coffee. I was surprised how "offended" my friends were that I didn't buy the coffee and just did the walk, but ...

It's sad how fast the weekend goes by. I feel like I am going through life at full speed right now. Kind of stressed about the week ahead, but there are some fun things coming up. I am secretly cheering myself on. ...

Vacation Weekend We are celebrating this weekend! That's all there is to say. Here's a cool idea for something someone should create, an Ambiance Monetizer. Someone asked me what headphones I was wearing and I gave them a link on amazon to them. They actually ordered it. What they didn't know what that person's link was one of my website affiliate links, so I actually made some money off the sale. Should that person know? Should I split the reward with them. Am I being unethical for not telling...

This article was written by Greg, the better looking Money Viking :) It is that time a year again, tax time is upon us. There are hundreds of strategies and approaches people deploy. Some people like getting a big refund as a kind of savings bonus, others want to break even because they do not want the government borrowing their money all year long. Remember it could have been invested for you all year making you money. I want to lay out a very simple way that one can think about taxes to deve...

Yesterday I combined a CVS reward of $1.00 from their app with an already on sale bottle of mouthwash ($4.60) while at the same time as using a credit card from privacy.com with 1% cash back that had a $3.33 reward on it. That 1 litre bottle of mouthwash was only $0.27 cents! Shop Amazon Devices - Save $10 on Certified Refurbished Echo for a limited time ...

I'm like totally writing this in markdown March 22, 2018 So it's been a while since I blogged. I got into privacy WAAAYYY to much and in a big way and I overdid it. Now I think I've adopted the best privacy practices for the average guy. I have another blog I'm trying to make some $$ with it, and I'm learning about SEO and AdSense I'm also a real person, behind the person, behind the man behind the man. What are those best privacy practices for me? Well if I listed them here then it wouldn't...

For Day 4, I’m working from home. For most people this would mean saving on expensive gas! For me as an electric vehicle owner, this will save me from driving 24 miles. This amounts to about 6 killowats of electricity with my EV or $1.20. I will invest the $1.20 into an agressive growth stock or fund. This is simple and easy using Stash or Robinhood! ...

This is Viking Jerry. Today I'm going to skip Starbucks and pack my lunch like Greg. My Grande Coffee usually is about $2.32, and my lunch can be upwards of $10.00. That money is going into Stash's "Delicious Dividends" ETF. We will calculate our grand totals saved and invested through small actions at the end of the 30 days. Hope you will join us and share your successes! ...

It's not a Lamborghini or Tesla, but it will get me from point A to point B from the power of the sun! I had been experimenting with cryptocurrencies for a while and decided to take some profits. I sold all my ETH (not much) and then paid off the rest of my car loan with it. The loan wasn't that much, but I still feel good about reducing debt! I got bills to feed and mouths to pay! Moral of the story for me is that I needed to examine my overall financial picture. Know when to take some pro...

I plan on retiring in about 20 years. There are so many choices in my 401K to choose from. Which one should I pick? ...

Well my fears came true, and today I left Tier 1 and entered Tier 2, so my cost per kilowatt doubles from about 20 cents to 40 cents. This means my commute is twice as much as it was for the past 25 days. So be it. 2 days are a weekend and I can drive my wife's car all weekend but I should do the math and see if her MPG work out better than paying for power at .40/kWh. Anyhoo, a friend at work is thinking of fixing up his solar and wanted to know how much I'm solar I'm getting versus how ...

Savings accounts have never been sexy. While there's a time and place for investing in crypto, stocks, bonds, exotic options and default currency swap derivatives, most of the time I'm spending my time in my checking account, and no interest is being paid there. At tax time, I remembered that my bank does have a savings account and I wanted to see how much interest I'd been earning all year on my rainy day funds. I was shocked by how low of an interest rate I was getting. Look at nerdwallet and...
