The world is full of ways to automate your life and make it easier. Everything from automatic Amazon ordering services to automatic soap dispensers to automatic butt wipers (I’m told they’re called bidets, but I digress….). I love all of these automatic gadgets (except the automatic butt wipers…yeeeech). There’s something really satisfying about using…

ClickList review: Useless luxury or grocery budget saver?
A few weeks ago I was shopping at a new grocery store when I saw an odd spectacle. No, it wasn’t Zach carrying around a cucumber like a jousting rod (although that did happen later). Instead, we saw at least a dozen employees in bright blue uniforms whisking items off shelves and onto carts…
Hacking the Cost of LASIK Eye Surgery
You would never know I have vision problems thanks to my contacts. In fact, I hate wearing glasses almost more than I hate not being able to see things and running into walls (which, to be honest, I do a fair amount of anyway). This is why I want to get LASIK. What if…
10 Investing Questions
There are a lot of reasons why people don’t invest. For me, one of the biggest reasons is that I don’t know about all the little minute details and how to fit them all together. Sure, I know investing in an IRA is important, but how do you actually do all of the thing associated with…
Why I’m Not A Member Of The Clean Plate Club And You Shouldn’t Be Either
When I was a kid, my parents, like many others, implored me to finish my food. “Come on, you’ll be a member of the Clean Plate Club!” they promised. Personally, this sounded like the lamest club ever. There were no badges, no field trips, no cookies, and definitely no stickers. But now that I’m…
How to Stick With Your New Budget
It’s that time of year again! Everyone’s getting ready to set their New Year’s resolutions. Personally, I’m going for being able to drink tea out of a mug without spilling it all over myself like a besotted drunkard. But I realize that many of you have financial goals. Me too. I’m hoping to double…
M1 Finance Review: Not Your Grandpa’s Investing App
You know you need to invest. I know I need to invest. It can seem so confusing at first though. Where the heck do I start? What’s a trading fee, and can I pay them in Pokemon cards and pogs? Don’t I need a million dollars and a monocle to be an investor? False!…
How much does a trip to Peru cost? It might be cheaper than you think!
“Hey, wanna go to Peru in a few months?” my friend texted me eight months ago. “I found some sweet deals on flights.” Any sane person probably would have said no. But luckily, I am not a sane person, and so of course I said yes. But—lest you think I am a total idiot—I…
10 Online Shopping Hacks That’ll Save You Hundreds
I love shopping online. Mostly because I can stay at home in my pajamas, drink beer, and avoid people, but there are some other benefits too. For example, I can research the best item for whatever job I need, at the best price. Rather than wading past 10,000 other useless pieces of crap I…
How To Make Your Own Homemade Yogurt: Easy And Way Cheaper
Hello and welcome to another installment of Lindsay Tries A Weird Thing To Save Money! This month I’m on a yogurt-making kick. I love me some high-quality Greek yogurt, especially since I’ve started lifting weights again. But holy cow is that stuff expensive—$1.89 for my favorite cup of premium Icelandic Skyr (none of that…
