At which age are we the smartest?

At which age are we the smartest?

When you think of intelligence, you might think of how well you score on an IQ test. But many types of intelligence have little to do with knowing facts and figures. When asked the question, "What's the smartest age," we might automatically think of those with more experience — but the answer is not that simple.

Finding reliable pros

Q:

What's a safe way to find someone to work on a project at my house? I heard you mention an app you like. I don't want to waste money on bad work.

A:

You've come to the right place. Spotting scams is harder than ever, and you can't trust Google results or many of the apps and sites out there that list home pros. 

I've been using Angi, a sponsor of my national radio show, and I can't get over how easy it is to find the right person for any projects. You can search through thousands of qualified pros right there in the app and read through real reviews left by real users. I used it to find a new landscaper, and I couldn't be happier.

To try it yourself, download the Angi app.

Is cloud backup safe?

Q:

We used to do a lot of file backup online but with all of the hacks and ransomware, we're trying to figure out the best way to back up personal and business files. Any suggestions?

A:

Cloud backup is still the way to go. You just need to make sure you're using a safe, reliable company to get the job done. My pick is IDrive. Your data is encrypted with 256-bit AES encryption on transfer and storage. You can set your privacy to the highest level by creating a private key for your account during signup. That means no one but you will have access to your data.

For personal storage, you can get 5 TB of storage a year for just a few bucks. Get your exclusive discount at IDrive.com and use promo code Kim at checkout.


Sick of this old printer

Q:

My old printer just isn't cutting it. I tried to print out a few photos, and they looked awful. Help me upgrade!

A:

Epson EcoTank printers offer the perfect mix of performance and reliability, and you can finally ditch expensive ink cartridges. These printers come with a ridiculous amount of ink — enough to print 6,000 colored pages. Plus, the printing quality is great. You'll be able to print photos nice enough to display in your home.

Add the Epson EcoTank to your online shopping list at Amazon, Dell, MicroCenter or at epsonecotank.com/kim.
