$900 of qualifying spend short of Ambassador and done traveling for the year. Any chance Marriott would round up? Is Ambassador worth paying $900?

Omg death 💀

Go for it, Ambassador is so useful! People keep saying the status is worthless because they are gatekeeping and want to keep the Ambassadors all to themselves.

No. It’s not.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

Accepted an offer of employment with a mid-sized firm to begin in a couple of months. I’ve always wanted to shoot for big law but haven’t had the opportunity thus far.

Would it be an issue to shoot for a big law opportunity in the interim? I know how this looks and sounds, so I definitely don’t want to set a precedent that I deal in bad faith.
