Surveys on the Go Review

February 22, 2021

Make some quick cash by taking surveys. About 10 years ago, I was a struggling college student. I worked part-time in retail and before I knew what budgeting was, always felt that my paycheck was barely enough. I would take surveys online with my laptop for $0.01 to $0.50 and they would always take around … More Surveys on the Go Review

She’s a Poll Worker!

January 8, 2021

Got to say, when I dreamed up my vision for 2020 I never thought that I would add “poll worker” as a side hustle. But then again, nothing about 2020 was predictable. There was so little that was in our control, when someone suggested poll working as a way to preserve democracy, save grandmas, and … More She’s a Poll Worker!

Working from Home During a Pandemic

September 14, 2020

In the before times, I didn’t really consider working from home as something that would be necessary or that I would need to prepare for. My job required me to be at my desk because it focused heavily on paper files. I did have access to remote working, which I occasionally used for checking in … More Working from Home During a Pandemic

My Experience with Ally Bank

August 31, 2020

Spoiler Alert: I have 3 Ally Savings Accounts, so my relationship with this online bank is pretty strong! Money wise, my 20s are defined by my reckless spending, my 30s, however, will be defined by how well I’ve saved. Though, I didn’t anticipate that a global pandemic would influence this quite so much! My interest … More My Experience with Ally Bank
