FinMason Review – Do you understand your investment choices?

Last Updated: April 7, 2021 BY Michelle Schroeder-Gardner - 2 Comments

FinMason ReviewI recently heard about a new company called FinMason. They understand that there is a retirement crisis going on, and that the majority of people do not save anywhere near the amount of money that they need to save.

Kendrick Wakeman, founder and CEO of FinMason, understands this. In his article on CNBC, Risk tolerance is a blind spot for ‘accidental’ investors, he says:

Whether investors are saving for retirement, a college education for their kids or their first home, it’s never been more important for them to have a strategic understanding of risk tolerance in order to meet their goals.

This is magnified when you consider that many households have become investors by “accident” or are saving for retirement via their employer’s 401(k) plan, with little or no financial training.

For those with retirement in mind and a far shorter runway from which to build wealth — or rebuild it, in the event of an unexpected downturn — it’s only that much more critical to have a view into the different scenarios that could alter both their near- and intermediate-term plans.

The Sites & Apps That Can Help You Save & Make MoneyAs a personal finance blogger, I come across many great websites and apps. I always try to stay updated on the latest and greatest apps, money-saving companies, and more, as I believe they can help a person improve their financial situation.

Whether they make managing your money easier, allow you to make or save more money, simplify financial tasks, or something else, there are many benefits to all of the companies that I have listed below.

Every little bit counts and taking part in many of the websites or apps below may be things that you may not have tried yet. You never know how much money they may allow you to save or make, which may completely change how you think about your finances.

There are affiliate links in this blog post, but these are all products and services that I recommend. I wouldn’t put anything in a blog post that I haven’t verified and/or personally used.

6 Free Online Survey Sites To Join For Extra Money

Last Updated: March 17, 2022 BY Michelle Schroeder-Gardner - 72 Comments

Check out this list of free online survey sites to make extra money. #extramoneyJust a few years ago, one of the top ways I earned extra money was by taking part in free online survey sites.

I didn’t make millions from taking online surveys, but I did earn a good side income by doing some relatively easy work.

Back then, I signed up for as many survey sites as I could (you can read more about why you should too below) and due to that I was able to complete at least a few surveys each week.

Like I said, it wasn’t enough to make me rich, but there were many times where I would receive an easy $100 check in the mail from completing surveys in a one-month period. The work is easy and it can all be done from home on your own schedule and timeline, so it’s a win-win!

Below are some of my tips for making online surveys a side hustle of yours. Plus, I have listed six of the best online survey sites for you to join.

ProOpinion Review For Paid Surveys At Home. There are many different paid surveys at home. Pro Opinion is a great survey company! Here is my ProOpinion review.As you all know, I am all about finding different ways to make extra money and that includes reviewing legitimate companies (such as ProOpinion) I’ve heard about so that you can possibly join them.

Lately, I have been asked quite frequently from readers about legitimate paid online surveys that allow you to complete paid surveys at home. It’s hard to know what’s legitimate and what’s not since there are so many different scams out there.

However, not all are scams. One that I would like to review today is ProOpinion and they are a legitimate survey company.

ProOpinion is a new survey company that is looking for many to join. They are looking for people to take surveys related to their field of expertise. ProOpinion rewards with points redeemable for Amazon or iTunes giftcards. While it is not cash, pretty much anything can be bought on Amazon!

Digit Review – A New Way To Save Money

Last Updated: April 14, 2021 BY Michelle Schroeder-Gardner - 36 Comments

Earlier this month, I published the article 9 Actions To Take To Trick Yourself Into Saving Money. While some may find it easy to save money, I know that not everyone does.

This is where my Digit review comes in. Digit is a new service that I recently heard about from many different people, so I knew I had to look into it and give it a try. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and already love how easy it is to use.

The Digit savings app allows you to automatically save money. In fact, Digit helped their customers saved $4,000,000 just in the month of June.

With the Digit savings app, you link up your bank account to Digit and every few days Digit looks at your income and spending habits to see how much you could possibly save. Digit then automatically moves money from your checking account to a Digit savings account.

Whenever you want and/or are ready to, you can then withdraw your money from Digit quickly and for free. This can be a great way to save money and before you know it you may have saved up enough for whatever your goal may be. Having a separate savings account for a financial goal works very well for many and this is why I like the Digit savings app so much.
