Am I missing something?

Q: You advertise using a VPN. I've tried a couple and they are so slow. Also, streaming sites won't play if you're using a VPN. What gives?

A: VPNs are great — if you pick the right one. All the options used to be seriously slow and some of them still are. Sure, your data was protected, but forget about streaming movies or even music. But that’s not the case with ExpressVPN. It encrypts your data, keeps your online activity private and hides your location from prying eyes — all without sacrificing speed. That’s why I love it! And yes, you can use it with any streaming site.

Don’t just take my word for it. Try ExpressVPN free for 30 days, and get 3 months free when you sign up for a year at ExpressVPN.com/Kim.

Help! This is ridiculous

Q: You said your mom saved a lot of money on her car insurance. My rates just went up, and I don't want to deal with calling all the major companies. How'd she do it?

A: Our secret weapon is Gabi. In just two minutes, you can compare rates for the same car or homeowners insurance coverage you have now. Customers save $825 per year on average, no joke. And it's totally free and safe to use!

Gabi compares coverage across 40 of the top insurance providers, including Progressive, Nationwide and Travelers. If they can’t find you savings, they’ll let you know you have the best rate out there.

Stop overpaying on your car and home insurance! Go to Gabi.com/Kim.

I can't afford all this ink

Q: I'm a teacher, and I'm working from home. I have to print everything myself now, and my crappy old printer isn't cutting it. I'm dreading having to replace the ink AGAIN. Isn't there a better way?

A: There sure is. Epson EcoTank printers come with a ridiculous amount of ink — enough to print 6,000 colored pages. Let’s do the math. Say you average 300 pages a month. You won’t have to buy ink for the next 20 months. That’s almost two full years! Think about how many traditional cartridges you'd have to buy in that time. And once you do run out, EcoTank refills are so much cheaper.
