CapitalOne SavorOne is so great. Building great credit at your age too is so crucial for your credit standing as you get older. There are bonus cash-back categories for this one and a $100 intro offer. Discover also has some pretty sweet ones.

I think capital one by far is the best. I have one for both of my teens. We have researched all the credit card companies and found capital one to be the best.

A credit card can be a great tool for a college student, but it's important to choose one that has low interest rates and no annual fees. The best credit card for a college student is the Citi Simplicity Card, I think.

My CapitalOne gives the best rewards. Interest rates aren't too high.

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

Hi fishes,

Today I got an email from TCS to complete an ibegin registration. Whenever I login, it is asking me to enter PAN details and mail ID. If I give, it is giving a warning that my account is already present in ibegin and telling me to login with another email ID. As if I remember, one of the consultancy, used my PAN to register in ibegin but I’m unable to login since it is registered by their mail ID and my PAN.
