Would definitely choose to spend 17K delta Skypesos over 16K UR points. Chase points far more valuable

I’m assuming the flight is $240 (based on 1.5cpp for UR). That puts delta valuation at 1.4cpp- I usually value delta points at 1-1.2cpp, so anything over is a good deal. That being said, there are flight where you can get 2.5-3.5cpp on delta vs UR which will always be 1.5cpp. So book accordingly

Skypesos. They are nearly worthless now. UR guarantees 1.5 cents in value, Skypesos are a gamble.

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
