  • My wife and I recently moved to a smaller town in the Northeast from Colorado. It’s been an adjustment, but honestly I’ve found some wonderful communities here supporting each other much more than I had out West.

    This isn’t to say that it’s a hellhole out there. It’s more that I wasn’t expecting to find it here, which gave me a bit of a recheck to my thoughts on the state of things.

    It also isn’t perfect, but I’m not letting that bring down the hope it brought me.

    Now back to being jaded 🙃







  • “Mint has always been a money loser,” Mr. Agostino, a former product manager at Mint, said in an interview. “Given the revenue Credit Karma was generating, it makes sense to go that path.”

    Translation: “Eh, all it does is help people without bringing us significant revenue. Let’s try to push the users over to a more spammy based app!”

    I remember when both came out, and used them extensively. Finally dropped CK, then Mint, as they both started including more and more loan ads. We certainly had a good run of actually useful free stuff, but that’s finally catching up.
