Stop Renting Movies Off The Internet!

My dad likes to talk about when he used to get a candy bar for a nickle. Now they're 85 cents from the vending machine at my school. Movie rental pricing is inflating much faster though. In fact, the way the cost for movie rentals are raising in price, I feel like an old person.  Remember the days when you could rent a movie for a dollar? Heck, i used to be able to get a movie from the library for a quarter, and have it for a week!  (Insert line about walking up hill both ways in the snow)
There are now a few websites where you can rent movies online, and it costs between $4-6 dollars to rent a movie. You can rent on Amazon, vudu, fandango, iTunes, and there are others. The point is, it's expensive, and I like movies!
I know there are some of you out there that get pirated "free" movies from the internet, and this isn't the place where I want to teach that. I like to have legal movies, but I also don't like paying the outrageous prices for them. Enter the digital age.
Many people are digitizing their movie library, and that's what my wife and I did before we moved across the country through Vudu's disk to digital program. We had a lot of movies and didn't want to take up the moving space, so we digitized the lot of them. This is how we got introduced to digital movies. Now we don't rent or buy DVDs. 

But how do I get cheap movies?

I discovered the website hdmoviecodes.com.
HD MOVIE CODES

TLDR: Go to this website, Get cheap legal movies.

My best deal to date was the movie Daddy's home. I got a $1 off coupon code once in an email, and he had the movie for $1, and so I got it for free. The last movie I bought was the new Thor Ragnarok. I bought it the day it came out (because I didn't go see it in theatres) and paid less than $6 for it. My favorite deal was when I bought all the James Bond movies from this dealer for $50. 26 movies, about $2 per movies. Try to find a better (legal) deal. Good luck. Also, buying $50 worth of James Bond movies doesn't always make your wife super happy. Something to consider. BUT imagine how upset she'd have been if I bought it for $80.35, the price on Amazon. You could probably expect an Odd Job hat moment. 
What I also love about this dealer is their rewards program. For every dollar you spend you earn points, which can be redeemed for $$ on their website. AND you can get 50 points with different actions you can do on their website. Then if you spend $5, you'll earn another 5 points. You need 55 points to get a free $5 giftcard to their website. So, if you spend $5, push share on a couple social media accounts (took about 30 seconds) then you get $5. And they have about 150 movies right now for less than $5. I personally have my eye on Despicable Me 3 for my next buy from this dealer. 

If you use this link you'll get an extra 10% off your first purchase. How neat is that?  http://i.refs.cc/cjrpkRlX?u=1520913970754

So, if you have ever rented a movie on the internet, STOP. DON'T DO IT AGAIN!!! In almost every case its cheaper to buy the movie than it is to rent it. If you use Vudu (my favorite), Amazon Video, Google Play video, Movie's Anywhere, or Itunes Movies then you NEED to look into this. You'll save hundreds, if not thousands.
The money that comes from my blog is earmarked for movies. It isn't much, but thank you for supporting both my writing, and my movie obsession.

There are Also Free TV and Movie Watching Options

YouTube has a ton of free movies and TV seasons on there- legally. I don't discuss or endorse illegal streaming options. My favorite TV show is MeatEater and a lot of it is available to watch for free. You can watch MeatEater for free here>

Light Bulb Idea: Does it make sense to switch your home's Light bulbs to LED?

Image
My power company just sent me free LED bulbs. If your power company has offered this, and you haven't taken advantage of it, DO IT! If I had traditional incandescent bulbs in my house to begin with, there would be 720 watts of power in just the lights. The LED bulbs brought that number down to 92. That is effectively 1/8th the power. I wrote a paper about cost savings on a government housing project for switching to LED lighting. If you want to apply this to just yourself, add the government benefits to the tenant benefits.  TLDR version: No matter what type of light bulb you have, its better by a significant amount, to switch to LEDs. The numbers are below. As I will explain below, the numbers are based on my apartment complex, but I also have between 200-400 consistent readers of my blog, so if every one of my readers changed to LEDs, it could have a net 20 year benefit of $400k-800k for all of them, or a $2,000 20 year benefit per person (all based on today's dollars).

My wife wants me to wear lipstick

Image
          At my last job I was responsible for filming and live streaming events. I've filmed footage for a couple online classes and I run three YouTube channels. You wouldn't think filming an advertisement for my wife's makeup company would be a big deal. She wants me to be the model in the commercial though, modeling some girly lip-stuff.            How did I get in this mess? Well, for me it started on our wedding day. My wife wanted to kiss me but also wanted to wear lipstick, pink lipstick. I wore lipstick that day, but it was second hand, and I carried a tissue to wipe it off. There is an acceptable way for a man to wear lipstick, and this was it.           You'd think it would be a good thing that my wife would find a lipstick that was kiss proof, especially when you are as kissable and attractive as I am. I thought it was cool, but I just thought war paint was war paint. My wife became obse...

Driving for Lyft and Uber: What You Need to Know

Image
I've taken one taxi ride in my life. I was in England and needed to get to the airport early in the morning. I rode from Oxford to the London Gatwick Airport. The fare was £145, which did not include tip. All said and done it cost about $200. The days of taxis, especially here in the US are winding down. Programs like Lyft and Uber are getting rid of that. The cost to take an Uber from Orem to the Salt Lake Airport from Uber is roughly $50, while a traditional taxi is $120-150. Are the Drivers Making Money? The short answer is yes, between $10-25 per hour. The companies don't want me reporting this though, likely because it varies, but I'm not about giving meaningless information. In fact, I had to pass on becoming an affiliate because I listed how much they get paid. I interviewed three Uber/Lyft drivers. I'll share a bit about each, their experiences, and what they've learned. Christine: Every daddy wants their daughter picking up strangers and taking ...
