FRIENDS AND FINANCES FEATURING TWOTALL4UFOOL

Welcome back to friends and finances my featured blogger series that introduces you to some amazing bloggers. The biggest reason I decided to start this new series, is because I believe in getting different perspectives on handling your finances. Secondly I believe that the bloggers featured here each week have a lot to offer the world and deserve recognition. Some of the blogs featured will be other personal finance related blogs and others will not be. The reason I chose to include some other blogs that are not related to finance is simple, we all have a financial story no matter who we are. I believe money is not the only focus we should have when traveling our road to financial freedom, and I think discovering some fun blogs that share something different can be a welcomed break from over focusing on money.

So today I welcome Justin from Twotall4ufool

Hello folks! My name is Justin also known by my gamertag TWOTALL4UFOOL or simply 2TALL. I run the blog TWOTALL4UFOOL Games & Tech Reviews which can be found at www.twotall4ufool.com. My posts definitely vary. They can go from reviews on video games and electronic devices to my opinion on what's going on in the world gaming and technology. I also do go off the board as well sometimes. If you are into nostalgia you can find a bit of that on my blog as well.

"If you love video games Justin is your go to guy with all the latest info on video gaming and everything related to it." Andrea

1. How long have you been blogging?

I launched my site back in January so that would make it five months. I tried doing it in the past but those were failed attempts. One of the main reasons why those didn't work was because I wasn't blogging about something I was passionate about.

2. What has been your biggest money mistake?

Probably opening up too many credit cards at an early age. I had to learn the hard way that a credit card isn't free money. I feel that many credit card companies try to lure in young adults to open one up. If you get an offer in the mail really do research before opening and using a credit card.

3. What is your best advice for recovering from or preventing this money mistake?

Do your research on credit card companies that send you offers. There is a lot of information online these days I feel that can help people of all ages understand more about credit cards.

4. Favorite quote or money advice and who was the author?

“Never spend your money before you have it.” -Thomas Jefferson

5. Favorite money or budgeting related book and author?

“Got any recommendations, Andrea? :)” Justin, my favorite is definitely The Millionaire Next Door by William D Danko.

6. Favorite money-saving website?

I've surfed around and looked at quite a bit but the best one in my opinion is You Need A Budget

7. Favorite money-making app or website? ( You can give more than one)

I don't really use any. Andrea, can you share some Apps that you use? Justin, I think I know a few that would possibly interest you or your followers looking to save money when purchasing gaming accessories, game systems and games. The two I would suggest would be Cash Dash and Shop Kick, both can save you money at various stores when you purchase items. You earn money back for purchases made on various items in the form of cash back or gift cards to redeem later. They also have restaurants on cash dash, which is a cool bonus if you enjoy eating out and shopkick is great for grocery savings as well.

8. Do you have an emergency fund or savings account?

Yes I do.

I want to thank Justin for taking the time to be Interviewed, for sharing your insight and financial advice with all of us today, and just a little glimpse of your website. Thank you everyone who took the time to read this post, stop by his website when you have a chance and let him know Saving Joyfully sent you. See you next time for another blogger Interview, and an introduction to another great blogger.
