Hmmm. Interesting question. Back in the day, my wallet was the most important thing I carried around. I still remember my first wallet, one of those waterproof tri-fold velcro ones that carried my student ID and some train tickets. (Maybe also a few cut-out pictures in there from skateboard magazines -- you know, the important stuff). But that was before everyone had
Would You Rather
Would you rather have your student loan debt wiped away or FREE healthcare forever??
Happppy Monday everyone!! You’re in luck as I heard a Financial Fairy was going around granting people wishes today - free of charge! - but you could only pick one of two options... Would you rather.... Have ALL your student loans completely wiped away?! (If you don't have student loans, you can choose your mortgages/cars/credit card/etc) - OR - Get free healthcare
What Would You Do For a 10% Raise? (Plus a half dozen other “Would You Rathers!”)
Came across this ridiculous study by LendEDU but can't stop looking at it, haha... They asked 1,200 employed Americans a series of "would you rather" questions to see what they'd give up in exchange for a 10% raise, and their answers were as crazy as they were entertaining ;) Here are some of the results - would you do any of these?? ********* 40.06% would give up
Would You Rather… Have All The Knowledge in The World From $$$ Books – OR – $100,000 In Cash?
Happy 401(k) Day, everyone! Yup, it's a real day, and one of real importance too! Given that the bulk of American's money is totally invested in their 401(k)s and respective counterparts. Trillions and trillions of it! (Don't quote me on that one as I'm too lazy to research it right now, but I do know it's a lot! ;)) So before we get to today's goodness, make sure that
Would You Rather… Cash vs Debt Edition
Happy Friday y'all! As you know, I'm a big believer that knowing your personality plays a HUGE role in how you manage your finances - for the better or the worse. It's no secret that I personally choose paths that excite me more than other, possibly "smarter," financial routes, but I also know myself well enough that if I can't stay motivated then none of it really matters
Would You Go to Jail For a Year For a Million Dollars?
Have a GREAT imaginary proposal for y'all today ;) I was talking to an old friend last night about all the random hustles he's done over the years (eBay flipping, acting, design work) when out of the blue he told me he was once asked if he wanted to be a part of a heist. "A heist??" I blurted out. "As in, robbing a bank? And get away cars and going to jail when you're all
Would You Rather… Make $50k or $100k? (But…)
Welcome to Friday, hustlers. You know how everyone's always talking about "keeping up with the Joneses," and how it's best to not compare yourselves to others? Well, this Would You Rather we've got for you today will test you on just that ;) I reckon most of you will vote the financially smart way considering you're on this site, but do try to answer this honestly so we can
Would You Rather… $1 Billion or 15 years of life?
So I know we just did some fun would you rathers the other week, but a friend of mine just shot a new one randomly my way (probably because he was bored at work), and I couldn't help but share it with y'all. This is the same friend who got duped by that fake $100 bill a while back, haha.. Here's the question he posed - I thought it was a pretty hard one after thinking about
Would You Rather…
As a blogger, we get pitched a LOT from companies/organizations/spammers and all kinds of scammers. Everyone vying for your attention in hopes you open up their emails andshare all their amazing words with your readers. (Yes, that was sarcasm) 99.98% of them get deleted. But, every now and then you get a fun one like I'm about to share with you today :) One that fits with
Magical Genie Asks: Would You Gain 25 lbs to Wipe out ALL Your Debt?
YES! Another awesome/crazy/doesn't-mean-much survey! My fave ;) This time up is Credit Karma (why are they always from credit score places?) who hired a company to research how people feel about their looks vs debt. And the findings are just as interesting as the survey we last posted about on credit scores vs looks. Here's the biggie from the results: 72% of Americans
