If you're flying through airports with Centurion Lounges often I would get the Platinum. By far the best domestic lounges and most of them have decent enough food that I can skip hitting up a restaurant for a quick airport meal. Otherwise Sapphire Reserve is the way to go. Pretty easy to earn points without Amex hoops to jump through that way. Also the CDR I'd essentially 150 a year for any consultant because you'll get the annual $300 rebate pretty easily.

My only concern with CSR was a lot of the benefits seem like things I can already bill to firm and clients. Still worth it?

I have multiple blank pages in my Passport but they are all interspersed, i.e. no two consecutive pages are blank. Does that matter for new visa stampings? My understanding is that Schengen countries require 2 consecutive blank pages. Can someone confirm please whether I need a renewal? Thank you

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.
