How to get $1 for 90 cents or less.
We all make purchases in life. Whether it’s groceries, home supplies, entertainment, or leisure, we all shop. One of the best ways to save money is by purchasing gift cards at a discount.

The guide to making your money make money.
What is Compound Interest? ✏️
Compound interest is simply the interest added to the principal amount of money that is invested or borrowed. The principal amount and the initial interest earned yield more interest over time, resulting in a compound effect. It is making interest from interest, which will eventually lead to enormous growth in interest — and subsequently, wealth. Compound interest benefits the investor, who will continue to earn money as long as their investment is not tampered with.

Just when you think one social platform “did it all,” a new one comes out of nowhere — First MySpace, then Facebook, then Twitter, then Instagram, then Snapchat, and now TikTok. Businesses don’t have the time to try to grow a following or community on every single one, so how should you decide where to focus?
