Cara Reynolds – SUM180 Community Manager replied to the topic Anyone Else Love Using Savings Apps Like Ebates + Ibotta? in the forum Grow your savings 7 years, 3 months ago
Wow, what a great suggestion. Thanks, Kayla! I’m like Antoinette – I tried eBates or something similar years ago, in the dinosaur days before apps – but it didn’t really work for me. If I’m going to use something consistently, it needs to be dead simple. Anyway, savings apps haven’t been on my radar at all before now, but this could really work…[Read more]

Cara Reynolds – SUM180 Community Manager replied to the topic Cheap or Free Family Outings in the forum My journey 7 years, 3 months ago
Great topic, Stacey! I agree with you about flying kites on the beach. When I lived in the SF Bay Area, this was a super fun, relaxing way for the family spend a weekend afternoon, and it cost us absolutely nothing. If you don’t live near the beach, local parks are great too. These days, I’m lucky enough to have access to park areas that have…[Read more]

Cara Reynolds – SUM180 Community Manager replied to the topic Relative Asking For Money in the forum SUM180: Our story 7 years, 4 months ago
Oh gosh, this is a touchy subject for sure. SUM180 CEO Carla Dearing actually wrote a blog post about it a few months ago. Carla’s advice, if you’re uncomfortable for any reason, is to find a way to gracefully and firmly say no. Refusing to lend money you can’t afford to spare doesn’t make you a bad person. You HAVE to take care of yoursel…[Read more]

Cara Reynolds – SUM180 Community Manager replied to the topic Tracking All Of Our Expenses Has Been An Eye Opener in the forum Grow your savings 7 years, 4 months ago
Wow, that sounds like a real turning point, Kayla. Congratulations. I know exactly what you mean. The first time I did a spending tracking exercise, I was blown away and mortified to see where most of my money was going. (Wardrobe, eek. This was a long time ago…) I’m a visual person, so seeing my spending presented to me as a pie chart with a…[Read more]

Hi Antoinette! I’ve been on both sides of this question, and I know it’s a tough one. Carla Dearing wrote a great blog post about it: Lending money to family or friends
Carla’s post covers other aspects of the topic (eg charging interest on loans to family members) but here’s what she wrote about your question specifically:

Cara Reynolds – SUM180 Community Manager replied to the topic Is the Amazon Prime Credit Card a good deal? in the forum Manage your debt 7 years, 11 months ago
Hi! I’ve stuck with the same credit card for years, too. Mine gives me air miles – but also lets me exchange my miles for free merchandise from an online “store.” In the years when I haven’t needed free travel, I’ve gotten a new Macbook Air, an iPad, a really high end digital camera, among other things. I think choosing the right credit card…[Read more]

Cara Reynolds – SUM180 Community Manager started the topic What's your financial New Year's resolution? in the forum Grow your savings 7 years, 11 months ago
I’m inspired by the story I just read about one woman who did a “no spend year” and saved over $20,000. I probably can’t be as disciplined as she was, but I think I can take a step in the right direction.
My resolutions for 2017:
– I will spend ZERO money on my financial Achilles heel: shoes, purses, and other wardrobe items.
– No new tech…[Read more] -
