Swagbucks: Swagbucks is a company where you can earn free gift cards and cash for the things you normally do online, such as shopping, searching the web, and taking surveys. They give out 7,000 free gift cards every day. I’ve been using Swagbucks for years and it’s great! You can sign up for Swagbucks here. Related: Swagbucks Review – How Much Can You Earn On Swagbucks?
$5 Meal Plan: I recently joined $5 Meal Plan in order to help me eat at home more and cut my food spending. It’s only $5 a month and you get meal plans sent straight to you along with the exact shopping list you need in order to create the meals. The meals are easy to make and are affordable.
Pinecone Research: Pinecone Research is a company that I use to complete surveys. I have personally used them several times, so I can honestly say that they are a legitimate company to use. They pay you for each survey you complete and they also occasionally send free products to review! Click here to sign up for Pinecone Research.
American Consumer Opinion: American Consumer Opinion is another survey company that I highly recommend. They also pay you for each survey you complete. Click here to sign up for American Consumer opinion. Also, I have a full American Consumer Opinion Review, which you can read.
Credit Sesame: With Credit Sesame you can get your credit score for free, with no catch. It doesn’t hurt to check your credit score, so you have no reason not to know your credit score. Your credit score can affect whether or not you are approved for a loan, whether you are hired at certain jobs, your interest rate, and more. It’s relatively easy to raise your credit score, so you should start doing so today! Read How Your Credit Score Affects Your Life + Credit Sesame Review.
Empower, formerly Personal Capital: Empower is a great resource that I highly recommend. They provide financial software somewhat similar to Mint, and it is free as well. Empower is much more detailed though, so between the two I would definitely choose Empower. You can track your net worth, your cash flow, your portfolio, your investments, and more.
