Book some vacation!

Yeah honestly do this then match over to a new airline

Miles expiry is so 2019

Just buy 1,000 points

~300k, including nuking a Cathay F flight (that covid would have cancelled anyway
Got to use 320 on 2x JAL F rt to Tokyo before shutdown though so I can't complain too much

Made a new AA account recently but haven't tried to fly with them though, in a DL hub

Transfer/ convert some hotel points if u have any to aa miles

Book an award flight then cancel it later. I did this with my wife’s account (though it was a legit cancellation) and noticed that it reset the expiration for her miles.

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash. Assets are down a decent amount with the current market cycle and I’d prefer not to sell them to cover the debt , although they easily could. Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?

I’m totally empathetic to people that miss offices and traveling. I understand your reasons why, I truly do.

For me personally, after non-stop weekly travel for 4 straight years, not traveling has made me realize how much I enjoy being home. Spending time with family, sleeping in your own bed, consistent exercise schedule, etc.

I for one hope consulting becomes more of a hybrid travel model (i.e. travel 1-2x per month or as needed). Else it won’t be for me.

Anyways, just some thoughts.
