There are times when I download an app on my phone... and let it sit there for months before I truly dive into it. Admittedly, that's exactly what happened with Rocket Money.

Money at 30: "The Great Money Reset" Audiobook Review

During the past three years, you didn't have to look far to see headlines about Americans leaving their jobs en masse or otherwise making major life changes after growing introspective during the pandemic. Zooming out, this period in history has also been dubbed "The Great Reset" as the world and its economies look to recover after being upended. Playing off of that, a new book from CBS analyst Jill Schlesinger...

Money at 30: M1 Finance Owner's Rewards Credit Card Overview

For a time, it seemed as though every FinTech was rolling out its own debit card — including some that broke the mold with some interesting features. Since then, some neobanks have moved on to creating unique credit card products instead. Among them is M1 Finance, which originally launched its Owner's Rewards Card in 2021. Since then, the card has undergone some tweaks, but the idea remains largely the same:...
