Couple Quick Tips

By -

I’m going to share a couple tips that the Student Nerds use to make their lives easier. I had both my sister and my new wife get mad at me for not making them aware of a financial management website that makes checking all your credit cards, bank accounts,  or any financial institution extremely easy (Even though we did have a post about it here). You can pay bills and it will constantly update balances, and send emails when your credit card bills are due etc.  They have gotten a lot of recognition because of the Wall St Journal and NY Times.  The company is Mint.com  and if you haven’t been over there yet you should make your way.  It is safe and secure so you don’t have to worry about that. 

The second useful tip is for all the free music listening you can handle. Go over to imeem.com and sign up so you can listen to all the songs free of charge.   They also have an iTouch/iPhone app that is out of this world.   It’s similar to Pandora where you can listen to music for free, but the differentiating feature is that the search within the app is much better than Pandora.  Forget paying for music on your iPhone or hoping that your favorite song gets put on Pandora, now you can control what you want to listen to free.  If anyone has been using this app for a while now, let us know what you think about it.  I have only used it for about 10 minutes but I was very impressed with the user interface.

I’d pay for it because I didn’t think there was any other way.  I then moved on to a free version of McAffee that my school gave me.  I probably used that for years before moving on to the next one; AVG. I loved AVG for a long time.  It was fairly quick, updated often but it was a little obtrusive.  I dealt with that though because the product was truly free.  About a year ago I AVG had a false positive that caused iTunes to get messed up.  I freaked out and uninstalled AVG and iTunes so nothing bad would happen to my music collection.  The next day a fix was issued but it was already too late for ...
