Laurel Road
Start saving money with a High Yield Savings Account from Laurel Road. I’ve always been pretty careful with money, but it’s been much more recently that I’ve become much more organized and methodical about making payments and saving for the bigger expenses that tend to come up. High yield savings accounts are useful for this, as they earn significantly more than regular savings, and Laurel Road is usually among the best earners. Click on the link, and you’ll earn me a referral bonus. 🙂
American Express
I’m somewhat less enthused about “advertising” credit cards because I know many people use them recklessly, but I’ve never been one to advocate for never using them if you’ve got some financial discipline. I’ve had an AmEx for many years now, and if you’d like to get one too, here’s my Amex referral link. Use it and we could both earn rewards if you are approved and get a Card. Check out offers and Card benefits.
Chase Cards
In the same vein as the previous offer, this is my referral link for Chase.

Lilla Rose
- Lilla Rose – I am an “independent stylist” with Lilla Rose (not a Lilla Rose employee), a company that primarily sells beauty items, particularly their patented “Flexi-Clip”. Any sales made through my site https://www.lillarose.com/katja will earn me a commission.
Amazon
I was an Amazon affiliate for over ten years when, in October of 2022, my account disappeared. When I contacted customer service about what happened to my Affiliate account, I was told that they didn’t do it on their end, so it must have been me that terminated the account, and that I was more than welcome to set up a new Affiliate account with them. In February of 2025, I re-joined Amazon Associates. Links to products on Amazon.com will generally use these affiliate links.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases through affiliate links to Amazon.com.
From time to time, I may post about products or events related to these businesses. If you choose to support this blog by making purchases through these links, please know that I am very grateful for it.
