Had a remote member of our greater group of companies pass away suddenly last night. Will sit down with my in-person team tomorrow AM and then phone all my remote folks. They have not been closely connected directly but know of this person, on the other side of the country. It will be about letting them know, letting them react as they need, helping them have resources if they want, and being there. Honestly this is the hardest part of leading a team. Puts the rest of the stuff in perspective.

After a hard reset on travel points (got none after Covid and change to industry) how would you start over? Which credit card is best for travel points? Airline? Starwood or Bonvoy? Avis or ??

At one time I had status on most airlines and hotels but I never bothered to focus on accumulating points since it seemed like they were infinite and I booked on convenience. Oh have times changed! I even let go of Amex platinum, just wasn’t worth it to me. Base airport LAX/SNA so no airline pref.

COVID halted living out of suite case and allowed dinner at home with family. Discovering what my life should have been. With rapid vaccination, I cringe at the thought of meaningless nights on the road again. Since I am older (and wiser, hopefully), see how things unfold and probably make a different choice (than did as a younger person).

Can I change my insurance from HDHP to a premier plan once my baby is here?

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

I am truly tired of applying and waiting for their call back and reverts, Its like getting into depression slowly slowly.

We’ve been TTC for 7 months now. I was 10 days late for my period, took a pregnancy test 3 different times in the last week and all negative. Reading online i learned that i could be pregnant and just need the hcg levels to build up for a positive test. But last night, I had the worst cramps and now have light bleeding, and some clots 😭... this whole process is such an emotional rollercoaster.. has anyone else had a similar experience? I think this could be an early termination but not sure.
