Anyone here have Amex Platinum and recently used it at Toronto Pearson for the express security line?

How much time does this save? Or should I still show up 3 hours before departure?

Fligh to US

Security isn’t as much of a deal as customs is. Will help you get through security but then you will still be in the long US customs line. If you have Nexus I would say 1.5-2 hrs before departure, without Nexus 3 hrs is a safe bet

Helps a little; depends on how many people is there at the moment. Customs tho is what could take longer (depends what passport you hold). For US travels….. NEXUS wins

6pm today? Security just took me less than ten mins and customs is a very short line right now. Could change later today of course.

If it was long, I was going to try the Amex kiosk. Hope others can help!

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
