Best card for someone who spends $1-2k a month? Nothing crazy, need to switch from my old local bank to a better one. Ideally will be having a savings with this bank too.

Go for sign up bonuses. Chasing an extra 1-3% is peanuts in comparison.

I would strongly recommend Capital One cards if you're looking for a bank that includes savings accounts. Great cards and decent rates. You can get better rates elsewhere (e.g. tbills), but that's the cost of convenience.

Try the Cap One Savor One. No annual fee. $200 bonus for spending $500 (you can convert the cash back to miles if you get a Venture X). 3% on dining/groceries/streaming, free Uber One membership, 10% on Uber/UberEats.

For a premium card, Cap One Venture X is incredible. Currently a 90k miles bonus through referral only (feel free to DM if you need one; standard is 75k). Worth $900 minimum. 10x on hotels/cars through portal, 5x on flights through portal, 2x everything else. $395 annual fee, offset by $300 annual travel credit and 10k annual miles (worth $100 minimum), plus Global Entry, Priority Pass, and Cap One lounges).

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…
