If you have enough points for Singapore suites, they're totally worth it.

Everything mentioned above is too expensive to book with chase points. Seems like people just read the first half of your question and ran with it lol but that being said if you have AA miles Etihad has great availability right now for their first class apartments from AUH to JFK for 110k AA miles one way. It's a lot of miles but also once in a lifetime experience worth over 25k in cash value.

Qatar just had a sale for business class to Asia from LAX, JFK, and DFW. They may still have some availability left so go check it out on Google flights. They fly the best business class product in the sky according to TPG and OMATT and other bloggers. I booked 2 tickets roundtrip for 236k Ultimate Rewards points AND it'll earn me 35k elite miles on AA AND 50k award miles on AA too. If you can't find the deal anymore I'd say save your points till something similar pops up again. Business class deals are getting increasingly popular these days and they earn a ton of status miles too which is always great for consulting!

Etihad. Honestly, the bump from economy to business is massive but the bump form business to first wasn't worth it for me. Save your points and travel twice on business in my opinion.

Umm. You can definitely afford to book a RT First Class cabin on Singapore Airlines for 53.5K each way, which is still less than 110K one way for Eithad. How does the math make sense A3...

Rough day in the office and in the mood for something that would toss me around and maybe hurt a little. Black peppercorn crusted bacon left on a smoker too long and covered in jam made from under-ripe red fruits. The 59% ABV is definitely present, and you can smell the peat smoke from across the room. The finish lasts for days. If you’re already into peated scotch but want to crank it up another level, the cask strength Laphroaigs can show you your limits. Hurts soooo good 😌

So I’m only contributing to 401k enough to get employer match, and I’m saving an additional ~20% and putting 90% of that into my vanguard mutual funds. Reasoning is that I don’t want to lock away all that money maxing out 401k. Have 3 months expenses liquid in a savings account. Is this really dumb?

Plus I don’t even have a permanent resident status so I don’t know if it makes sense saving it for retirement. On the other hand, the employer match and so on sounds good. So should I save it and take it out later or just invest it?
