Imagine prepping for your first big job interview, only to find out you’re chatting with someone named Jamie, who turns out to be less “recruiter with a solid LinkedIn” and more “Siri with a superiority complex.” If you’re looking for a job or know someone who is, this is critical intel. How it works Once […]
That’s my son Ian with me and my amazing mother. When my mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given three months to live, I was devastated. But I did what I always do when life gets tough. I focus on the problem. I read every clinical study I could get my hands on, studied […]
Confession time: I Zillow people. All the time. Someone casually mentions they just bought a house in Aspen? I’m on it. I’m already hunched over my keyboard like a Nancy Drew reboot. New neighbor moves in with a Mercedes-Benz and suspiciously good patio furniture? You better believe I’m typing that address into Zillow before their […]
That meeting that could have been an email? You’re on it, eyes glossing over rambling updates, Todd’s screen share failing for the fourth time (use a mouse, Todd) or what appears to be a seance: “If you can hear me now, make a sign.” AI can be your saving grace. I’m talking about short, sweet […]
That’s my childhood home above at 111 Washington Avenue, South Amboy, NJ. I was about 10 when I knocked out my front tooth on the swing set. There was also the day when I made the very bad decision to throw a snowball at a passing police car while the officer had his windows open. […]

Some good (actually smart) tech can help liberate you from this hostage situation, with real savings. Here’s your Kim-approved guide to the best smart home tech that pays for itself. And […]
July 4th is all about independence, fireworks and maybe reinventing how many hot dogs a stomach can physically hold. But financial freedom? Nothing says “I’m a prisoner of the bad side of capitalism” like paying for three streaming services just to rewatch The Office on a loop. Here’s how to break free from the subscriptions […]
You finally made it to your gate, overpriced coffee in hand, sprinting like your vacation depends on it, only to be greeted by those two soul-crushing words: Flight Delayed. Maybe it starts with 30 minutes … then an hour … then four. No apology, no update, just your suitcase sunbathing alone on the tarmac like […]

That’s my dad in the photo. I used a tool called Remini (more about it below) to sharpen and enhance the image. Pretty amazing, right? The original is on the left, and the clearer, AI-upgraded version is on the right. I bet you probably have boxes (or albums or old hard drives) full of family […]
If you think food prices are high now, just wait. Grocery stores across the country are installing electronic shelf labels (ESLs), ditching those humble paper price tags for sleek little digital screens. Sounds like a snazzy tech upgrade, right? Just wait until your eggs get a price hike while you’re still pushing your cart toward […]
I got a great question from Danielle in Austin: “Kim, every time I search for a flight and go back later, the price has gone up. Are airlines tracking me? If I clear my browser history or use incognito mode, will I get a cheaper deal?” You’ve probably wondered the same thing. And there’s no […]

I hear from some of you who say, “Kim, I don’t care about AI, it’s not my thing.” I get it. But AI does matter. You’re using it even when you think you’re not. Ever yell, “Speak to a real person”? AI is not just here, it’s taking names and unpaid lunch breaks. As much […]
I’ll never forget helping Robert from Virginia find $24,578 sitting in a bank account he didn’t know existed. He heard me talk about how to find hidden money on my national radio show. Every year, I shout about this from the rooftops (and my national radio show). Lost money isn’t a myth. It’s trillions just […]
One question I get all the time is, “Kim, can AI help me pick stocks?” Spoiler: Not only can it help, it might do a better job than a guy in a Patagonia vest yelling about yield curves. A finance professor from Canada tested the stock-picking skills of ChatGPT, Elon Musk’s Grok and communist China’s […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, AI is changing everything. And now it’s coming for video. This is the future, and it’s so fun to play around with these new tools.

Healthy eating isn’t just trending, it’s something I’ve lived my whole life. I read every label, choose organic whenever I can and try to never eat processed foods. Knowing what’s going into your body matters, and I’ve always believed that. But even with all that vigilance, it’s easy to get duped by “natural” and “wholesome” […]
