American Express Personal Savings Review – A Good Option

ByGrayson Bell 02/04/201404/23/2022

As a reformed spender, I love the opportunity to save money. Unfortunately for all of us savers, the economy is not really geared to rewarding us for holding onto our money. Even with low interest rates, I still love to save money and want to tell you about the American Express personal savings account. One of my goals is to give my readers options on where they store their cash. I am a big proponent of spreading your liquid assets in different places, so adding another savings account is no big thing for me. I am also a big fan of American Express, because they are the holder of one of my favorite cash back credit cards. Since my large banks are giving their savings customers a paltry 0.10%, anything better than that is good for everyone!

ByGrayson Bell 05/31/202305/31/2023

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.

Should You Pay Cash or Finance Your Next Vehicle?

ByGrayson Bell 05/29/202305/29/2023

There are so many words of advice about purchasing a car that I wanted to throw my hat in the ring as well. The reason I want to do this is because I have a little different view point about purchasing a car. I don’t disagree with the other view points as I think they are valid, but I just have a little twist in how I see it. As stated time and time again, finance decisions like this are personal and you have to make the best financial decision based on you.
