I’ve found that 70+% of my spend is on food in some capacity, so I get the 4x there.

I also make sure to check in on offers every few weeks and add them even if I’m not sure I’ll use. There are often Bonvoy reimbursements. Offers alone have paid for my CC fee, and then grubhub / Uber is gravy on top of that

Groceries are 4x points. And book flights directly at the airline site for 3x. There's also 10 dollar monthly grubhub credit besides uber eats.

New to trading and investing in equity. Have $200k in equity and $20k in MUNI bonds. How do you plan to diversify?

Currently 25 y/o making 70k/year in Boston. I grew up pretty poor and I have minimal financial education. A lot of my salary now goes towards helping my parents get out of debt. My parents are no longer able to live on their own, so considering selling my grandmas house where they live (maybe 550k), paying off their mortgage (100k) and buying a duplex (between them they make about 55k/year). Is buying a two family home a good investment ? How much can I afford to spend on a new house?
