I’m almost 50 but I look 32-35. That feels good I guess... but sometimes people (older & younger) treat me like I’m 32-35 and it pisses me off or harms me. Specifically, other people my age talk to me like I’m younger and younger people don’t give me the deference that they give to older people. Also, if I have a health issue, people (including medical professionals) are less likely to believe it’s real. I know I should bitch about this kind of problem, but still...

I’m not seeing many benefits to the Amex and I’m wondering whether I should just stop paying the annual fee and apply for CSR instead and get reimbursed for business expenses from that card. Considering I can only put business reimbursable expenses on the Amex, it’s not accumulating points very fast. Would I be better off consolidating my points on CSR? Amex platinum doesn’t seem like the right move for me right now.
