Discover. Got it while I was in college. Great cash back. And additional perks like gift cards. I could use my cash back on Amazon and get 40% off on certain items for a certain period of time. Plus it helped me build my credit score as well.

$0 annual fee so you'll never need to cancel it and can keep your credit history. I'd recommend starting with BoA or Chase with one of their Cashback cards

For your next card you can get the Sapphire or a different travel card with more perks

Take your pick of a 2% cash back card

Once you get more comfortable with credit cards you can then start targeting certain cards for certain spend categories. But for now, I would keep it simple

BOA cash rewards and put 3% on food. Most young ppl spend all their money on food

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
