One of the most popular posts here on Wealth Bytes is how to sell a car on Craigslist. I wrote it after selling a few cars via the free site, so I wanted to share my experiences. I didn’t know it would become so popular. Due to the amount of visitors to that article, I…
In my free time over a week ago, I went to a friend’s wedding. Â While it took me away from the act of moving into our new home, it was a nice opportunity to relax and wind down for a bit. Â I don’t get many opportunities to do that much anymore. Â My wife was in…
I’ve long been a proponent of Amazon for buying all items for my house and generally everything. I was an Amazon Prime member for years because I liked the convenience of Amazon and the Amazon app. Unfortunately, my stance on Amazon has changed slightly for my personal buying decisions and I wanted to explain here…
Happy Father’s Day! I hope all of you get to celebrate with your family and maybe have a chance to relax. I know I will be having fun on my golf weekend, but I will miss the opportunity to celebrate Father’s Day with my dad. It upsets me a little bit because as a new father, I would love to celebrate with my father. Oh well, there will be others. I am taking this time to write a letter to my father. I hope he gets to read it.

It’s Monday and I think I am going to go a little personal today. The purpose of Debt Roundup is to show you that we are all human and we make mistakes. We also have to learn from those mistakes and grow. If we don’t, then we are going to make the same mistakes over and over again. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like to repeat failure. I only like to repeat my successes. On that note, I want to share one of my biggest money mistakes. I would say it is embarrassing, but stuff happens and I just learn how to deal with it.

It’s not something I talked about openly for years just because it wasn’t something I cared for others to know, but as I grow older and don’t care as much about what people think, I have decided to share a few things about what it is like being a Type 1 diabetic in the United…
Saving money is an important topic talked about everywhere. We talk about it here regularly because it is a pillar of personal finance. Saving money is the backbone of financial literacy. You will often read about so many different ways to save money each month. I find X ways here, Y ways there, and everything…
It’s been a long time coming, but savers are finally being rewarded again with higher interest rates on savings accounts and CDs. Cash is King again!! While it’s no match for the 8%+ inflation rate we are dealing with, I’d rather earn 3% on my cash than be losing 25%+ on my investments. For a…
I’ve never been one to settle for high cell phone bills. Over the years I have been on Verizon, Straight Talk, AT&T, T-Mobile, Republic Wireless, and Cricket Wireless (who I was on before switching). In a recent effort to reduce my monthly costs, I decided to try out Mint Mobile. Here is my experience and…
