Well my first behind the scenes post was relatively well received so I’m back. This time I’ll give you a quick’ish update on how things have been going over at Camp FIRE Finance during our first six months.

One thing I’ve learned the hard way is the importance of setting financial goals. They say ‘the unaimed arrow never misses‘ and I’ve definitely found that to be true. During the times in my life when I’ve not had a goal, I’ve not made any measurable progress.
I suspect many of you have had similar periods in your life where you fell into a rut and were just going through the motions.
That’s a terribly unfulfilling way to live, so these days I’m constantly striving to reach different goals. This year is no different. I’ve set four main financial goals for 2018 they’re going to be tough to achieve, but that’s sort of the point.

Several months ago I posted this review of Beam, a Fintech app that’s been getting a lot of buzz for the high interest rates of 2%-4% that they’ll be offering customers.
Most big banks and financial institutions offer interest rates of less than 1%, so the possibility of a 4x return is appealing to say the least!
But is Beam too good to be true? The service was supposed to launch in October 2017; we’re now pushing February 2018 and we still don’t know much about Beam.
So I reached out to the company with several questions that many of you have asked me and I’ve got some answers. What follows is Beam’s word-for word responses to my questions (emphasis added in parts by me).

This post was updated on 7/23 & 24. I heard back from Beam and have provided their answers to my questions.
There’s a new FinTec app that’s getting some buzz right now called Beam. Beam is a high interest rate bank account that’s promising 2 – 4% APY and if that’s true then this will be a very successful product because most of the big banks offer are currently offering less than 1% APY.
I’m calling this post a ‘review’ of the service, but it’s really a sneak peek since the service doesn’t actually launch until later this year. Before it launches, and before I deposit any of my cash with Beam, I’ve got a few questions. [Read more…] about Beam – A Review Of The High Interest Rate Bank Account
