Flew to SNA for vaca - small but easy to grab rental car and drive off.

I know many LA area people that do. It's significantly less hassle if it's near you

It totally depends as to where in LA you're trying to go. It's about 40 miles from Downtown, so how much is driving in LA traffic worth to you?

^^^ Fly In late at night, problem solved

Don't do it if you'll be west of downtown LA. The drive to downtown alone can take over an hour easy in traffic. Often times more.

I compared uber costs and it's about $20 more, compared to a $150 savings just one way in flight

I fly from SNA regularly, but it isn't cost (it usually is much more expensive, especially when booking within 14 days). It is less than 20 minutes from touchdown to my front door and far more convenient than LAX.

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.

Hey friends. My wife and I are looking to start investing in the market outside of our 401ks, hsa etc. We opened a Charles Schwab brokerage account and planning to transfer 2-3k/mo. We’re in our late 20s/early 30 and likely won’t need to touch the money for 10+ years. What should be our investment strategy? How should we allocate to what funds? Thinking of splitting evenly across large, mid, small caps, and growth, value funds using DCA.
