  How Using an Insurance Broker Can Save You Time & Money No doubt you've seen and heard plenty of commercials these days for insurance. From the familiar jingles and one liners on the radio, to the funny ads on television (like most of us saw during the super bowl or during the NFL season - cue MaHomes and Taylor Swift’s MaAuto😏). Playfulness aside, insurance is a necessity in today’s world, but finding the right coverage for your needs can be a daunting task - and these days, you're probably noticing your renewal rates just going up and up and up...

Amazon is one of the most popular online shopping🛒 platforms in the world, offering millions of products across various categories. However, finding the best deals on Amazon can be tricky🔍, especially when prices fluctuate frequently (lightening deals⚡️, coupons, promo codes, etc.) and Amazon doesn't offer a price match guarantee or price matching policy. That’s where I use Keepa, which comes in very handy. Keepa is a powerful tool that tracks the price history📉 and sales rank📊 of any product on Amazon.

For this post, I will walk you through using the browser extension💻, but the web service or mobile app📱are both ...

Saving money can be challenging, especially with today's higher inflation rates, but today's interest rates on savings accounts are some of the highest we've seen in a long time and there are some accounts that offer tools that can help you develop better saving habits and grow your money over time.
