Plus, the *right* way to access your paycheck early
Yes, You Can Access Your Check Early
No need for predatory payday loans
Anyone else experiencing economic whiplash? Tariffs are on and off. Inflation has been holding steady but that just means high prices are staying put. Interest rates aren’t necessarily rising but they aren’t dropping, either.
Rent, groceries, insurance — everything is more expensive these days and our paychecks aren’t going as far as they used to.
If you’re struggling, whatever you do: Don’t get a payday loan. With high fees and interest rates, these predatory cash advances are more trouble than they’re worth.
You can, however, get access to your paycheck early for free. Check out our roundup for four reliable ways to get your paycheck early.
10 Amazon Prime Perks You Need to Be Using
Once upon a time, we had to make lists with paper and pen and physically go to stores when we needed things. Sometimes we’d have to go to several stores or even shopping malls for what we needed. Then one day, out of the heavens, came Amazon. For many of us, the free shipping perk and access to exclusive shows and movies is enough reason to fork over the $14.99 per month to get Prime. But if those reasons haven't been enough to entice you to join Prime, maybe some lesser-known incentives like free music/podcasts, access to lightning deals, and Whole Foods discounts will tempt you to sign up. Make sure you're not missing out, and get the most out of your Prime membership with help from Brad’s Deals’ deal-finding experts.
