Why You’ll Never See Me Use a Debit Card

January 16, 2014 by Angelina Aucello 26 Comments

As much as I’d like to give myself a cool title such as “certified deals and bargain master”, I am the furthest away from considering myself a financial advisor or an “expert” in any capacity.

I Shattered My Brand New iPhone Not Once, But Twice – Chase Saved Me

September 17, 2013 by Angelina Aucello 13 Comments

I guess you can call me a laggard when it comes to staying up-to-date with technology – I’m one of those people who keeps items until they’re hanging on their last lifeline; I’m never in a rush to have the latest and greatest.

May 6, 2013 by Angelina Aucello 11 Comments
