FREE MONEY: Sign Up to Receive Payment from the Airline Price-Fixing Settlement

Several airlines have settled a price fixing lawsuit and you may be entitled to a very small share of the settlement if you purchased a ticket to Asia or the South Pacific in the past 15 years. No doubt the class action share will be small, but it’s not much effort, and you will just […]

Why You Should Apply For The Chase Ink Cash Credit Card

In early February I wrote a post about the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, which I consider to be the single most valuable credit card in the market. For me it's a "super card," given that it offers double points on dining and travel, no foreign transaction fees, a reasonable annual fee, great purchase protection, primary car rental coverage, etc.

Chase's comparable business credit card is the Ink Plus® Business Card, which also has great bonus categories, no foreign transaction fees, and a reasonable ($95) annual fee.

But one card that's often overlooked is the Ink Cash® Business Card. It's basically the no annual fee version of the Ink Plus, and if you play your cards right (no pun intended), can be just as rewarding without the annual fee.

A Family’s Year in Italy: On the Road with Jacqueline Jannotta

This is a traveler case study. (Read others or nominate yourself . )Getting the gumption to make travel part of your life is hard enough when it's just you, let alone adding three other people. Jacqueline Jannotta did just that, though—she brought her husband kids into a year-long adventure. Here's how this family of four did it:

I worked for both sitcoms and dotcoms in Chicago, L.A. and Florida before becoming a freelance writer and moving to Portland, Oregon. I’ve always cherished the connections I made as I zig-zagged around the country, and have been curious about the ever growing social constellations we find ourselves in. This ultimately became the impetus for an unforgettable journey: moving my family of four to live in Genoa, Italy for a year.
