Router secrets unlocked

Your router has more to offer than just an on/off switch. One of the best ways to boost your Wi-Fi performance is to outsmart the interference swirling all around you. Let’s talk about bands. Not the type that “break up” and go on a reunion tour when they run out of money. I’m talking about […]

Have AI be your own graphic artist

Confession time: I can’t draw. My brain doesn’t lean at all in the artsy direction. I’ve tried to teach myself Photoshop, but every attempt ends with me whisper-screaming “flatten layer” like it’s going to summon help from the Adobe gods.  But now? I create stunning, professional-looking images in seconds. And I don’t lift a finger […]

AI won’t fix your grief, but it can help manage it

“Hi, Kim, I’ve been taking care of my dad since his stroke. Your story about using ChatGPT to map out questions for our doctors has actually truly helped me feel a little more in control. It’s not perfect, but it’s been a lifeline.” — Maya in Ohio Thanks for your kind note, Maya. Being a […]

Turn your yard into serious cash

One of the best calls I’ve had recently on my show came from a listener named Stacy. He casually told me he’s made $80,000 renting the vacant land he covered with gravel behind his house. That’s it. A rectangle of rocks. No building. No tenants. No fancy business plan. Just a patch of dirt he […]

AI’s doing the interviews now, good luck out there

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 […]

Your calm, clear, AI-powered action plan

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 […]

Zillow stalking: The new national pastime

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 […]

Survive Zoom, thrive IRL

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 […]

Take a trip back to your childhood home, no plane ticket required

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. […]

Find all those subscriptions you forgot about

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 […]

Flight delayed or lost luggage? Airlines owe you money

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 […]

Tech that rescues your family lore

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 […]

Food prices change while you shop, here’s what to do

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 […]

Does clearing your browser really lower flight prices?

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 […]

White-collar jobs, meet your match

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 […]

Might be owed money? Here’s how to find it (for free)

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 […]
