   Great user interface, and ease of use. Not sure about the privacy though.

   Very happy with its offers, it has a full suite of tools. Also the user experience is great. I am not sure about the privacy though. I am not confident enough to use it for sending and receiving confidential documents.

   🏁 Competitors: Mailfence, ProtonMail

   👍 Pros:    Huge storage space|Mobile app|Easy to use|Organisation

   👎 Cons:    Security|Privacy|Data protection and security

   Not good mail in terms of privacy and security

   I used to use Gmail until 4 months ago. I was really happy with this mail, it is easy to handle and, being a Google member, there are many tools available to use. However, I started to learn about the security and privacy offered by Google, which is NONE. We are selling our information and personal data to a technological giant and, many times, we are not even aware of it.

   This is why I deleted all but one of my Google-related accounts. As most people are still not aware of this, when working or contacting certain people for the first time, it is essential to do it through Gmail.

   Today, there are a few alternatives to solve this lack of privacy. After doing an intensive search and reading comments, I decided to get an account with Mailfence and, honestly, I'm very happy with their service. It's an easy to use email, with end-to-end encryption, digital signatures, calendar, document saving capabilities, ... I really recommend it for all those who are starting in the world of privacy and security. The best thing is that you can create a free account and, if you are happy with the service or need more storage space, you can switch to a paid account.

   I hope my opinion helps everyone, especially those who are thinking about whether it is really worth giving all our information in exchange for a free email.

• Is $250 a month in disposable income livable for a family of 3?

  You'll be going into a tight budget time, so get a really good system in place. If you don't have that you love already, I recommend YNAB (youneedabudget.com). It's envelope based and is really good for planning ahead for irregular expenses and for "rolling with the punches" if something comes up. It works differently than traditional monthly budget, so take time to use all the resources to learn the system. ... Source: 11 months ago

• LPT Request: What is your favorite life hack that has saved you money, time, or made your day-to-day activities easier?

  I also said in a comment below, I use YNAB to track my financial life. This strategy only works if you have enough confidence in your finances to know that if I gave you a card with 100k credit limit, you would never spend more on it than what you have in your bank and has been budgeted for. If not, I cannot overstate how important it is to get your budget in order beforehand. There’s zero money saved if you pay... Source: 11 months ago

• Fund future vacations

  If you aren’t already giving every dollar you make a job, earning more money will only get you so far. Check out YNAB, read all the free content about learning to plan and budget. Source: about 1 year ago

• Tracking savings goals

  Track it by hand or in software. I started out with just a spreadsheet, but since then moved my whole budget to YNAB (youneedabudget.com), where you track all your individual savings goals as well as how your money will be used to cover regular (and irregular) expenses. Now the whole plan is in one place, and covers everything from how much is set aside for gardening supplies for this summer to the big... Source: about 1 year ago

• My grandfather passed away and left me 25k. I have next to no savings and I owe money on a couple credit cards and a car. Almost 40, how do I maximize this?

  Aside from all the other advice, get a subscription to YNAB (youneedabudget.com) and start using it religiously. It will help prevent any backsliding and will put you in a much better financial situation going forward. Source: about 1 year ago
