Often, I get asked which products I like and use in my day to day life. So, I created this list of financial services, products, and companies that I use and love. I’m not afraid to call out an advertiser when I don’t think they’ve done right, so it’s very important to me to only offer the BEST to people who read the site.
Disclosure: There are some affiliate links below and I may receive commissions for purchases made through links in this post, but these are all products I highly recommend. I never recommend anything I haven’t personally vetted or used myself! See my full affiliate disclosure here.
Saving Help
- Some of my favorite automatic savings apps: Qapital, Digit, Albert.

- $100 Bonus to Refinance with CommonBond – Have you thought about refinancing your student loans? Refinancing can help lower monthly payments, decrease total paid on interest, and free up more room in the budget for other savings goals (like emergency funds and buying a home.)
