Samsung Pay – My New Fav

black and white iphone case

Here recently I decided to sign up for Samsung Pay. I am personally super excited about using it. I’m going to outline the things I like and the things I do not like but as of right now, 2 weeks into using the app, I love it. Also, I’ve read reviews on other apps and this is why I made the choice to try Samsung Pay over any other mobile payment system such as Apple Pay, Android Pay and Google Pay. Although, I haven’t tried any of the others, the biggest different between them and Samsung Pay made the call for me. Later, I will show you how to set up the app. I want to get this out of the way, so that you do not read this and it does not work on your device. Samsung Pay only works on Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, S6 Edge+, S6, S6…

Beat the Box

I’m so sick of paying high ass cable bills and there is never anything on TV!! What a waste of money. Don’t get me wrong, I like to watch good movies and there are a few shows I really enjoy but most of the time the TV watches me. Something’s gotta give. I am giving away almost $150 a month to SAY I have cable. So I looked up all the ways we both can beat the box. The cable hustle ends today: The Options: There are plenty of TV episodes that air on Hulu Plus the day after airing on network TV. Hulu Plus is probably the fastest airing streaming service. For a TV watcher this is your best bet. Sling TV is owned by Dish Network, but you DON’T need to be a Dish subscriber. With Sling TV you can stream live cable TV channels, which includes channels…

F*ck Flex Loans

wmsfe6yhyim Legacy Said So

If you live in Nashville and listen to most radio stations especially 101.1 The Beat you have heard a commercial or two or three for Flex Loans. Flex Loans are the worst things for your pockets fam. They may say the interest rate is only 24% but that is total bull. These loans come with more than a standard interest rate. The interest rate is capped at 24% but the daily fees that these loan sharks are allowed to charge you will take that 24% and raise you a mean 255%. That puts your interest at TWO HUNDRED AND THE SEVENTY-NINE PERCENT (279%). Yes you heard me right, 279%. That can get ugly when you can borrow as much as you want essentially. Traditional payday loans are capped at $500 and you are only able to have 3 outstanding loans at one time and you may pay back about $50…

I was on the phone with a good friend of mine, Ndi, and she told me her brother was in a susu. I instantly said “a who, spell that” lol.. She explained to me “SU SU.. S..U..S..U, its a group of people saving together to gain money fast for a business” or something like that. Still a little confused I asked her to explain more, she said “So let’s say 10 people put $100 in the pot once a month and each month one person gets to collect the total, so everyone puts in and gets no less than the same amount”… *light bulb goes off* I know you are like me reading this thinking, so what TF is a susu right? Well, a susu is basically a savings club. This type of savings club was created in the Caribbean. So, not only do they have beautiful beaches, resorts, great…

How Working Together Can Help You Become Debt-Free Right Now

Debt-Free Together: A Real-Life Example A while back I read an article about 4 sisters who combined all their debt and paid it off in less than a year and a half. Yeah right? It seemed so unreal that I had to find the article and read it again, Lo and behold, it was absolutely true. These four sisters in Texas combined their income ($106k), moved in together, cut unnecessary expenses (cable, etc), and put each other on an allowance to attack their combined debt ($182k). Whoaaaa!!!! That’s too real. Their debt included student loans, credit cards, and car payments.  These took one of my favorite sayings and made it a reality “teamwork makes the dream work”. They joined forces to become debt free together. Imagine what you could accomplish by being debt free. Teamwork Makes The Dream Work Debt is a prevalent issue that affects many people’s financial stability…

One thing I love is a good bargain or sale or whatever you want to call it, but one thing I love more than that is FREE. Now sometimes free comes with some stipulations which may not make the free worth the time but in some rare occurrences the free is all the way worth it. One of those all the way worth it free things is Credit Karma. It’s secure [as secure as anything can be these days], has useful information, an app, and it’s FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE!!  I know most people who have Credit Karma use the company for the free credit score, which is cool but I’m here to tell you why I don’t use it for the credit score. What to know about the free “credit score” you are getting?  Here is the thing. The VantageScore 3.0 is not technically a fake score, lenders…
