Does anyone invest in preferred stock? Been researching this morning and seems really interesting. Curious to see if anyone does this because I haven’t seen much about it before

Amex corporate green card or CSR?

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.

How do people in hcol cities do it? All in, I make a little under 200k in Atlanta. Im able to max out my 401k, HSA, & back door roth. I save 1200 + buy 2 shares of VOO /month. Mortgage/HOA is 2100. After all that, I find myself watching every penny on my Amex bc money feels tight.

Just went through the latter and I really don’t feel any noticeable difference (beyond saving a bit more) - but maybe it’s because I moved to a more expensive city.
