You can buy united lounge passes for $59 a pop. Not sure if delta has a similar deal

Is there a place to see ‘how much’ of the credit you’ve used? I think we still have like $220 of United, would love to snatch some passes...

Still I only fly delta and don’t know what I would use it for even if it’s another airline

Figured as much, but wasn’t sure.

Switch to southwest and buy a giftcard

Mine worked this year but I did it back in January

GT OP- I’m in the same boat as you! I read that you can only switch airline choices 1x/yr in January. Did you have any luck?

You can change any time in the year but you can’t have already used it

What can I buy for AA? I think I have the entire amount

Bought 2. Let's see if they clear.

AA 500 mile upgrade vouchers are going through for now... I have three cards with unused credit, tried various combinations 🙁

4 days

I managed to spend it with less than 4 hours left in the year. I was able to book a business trip earlier today. Buy 2 mileage boosters for $59 each and one upgrade to first class for 109. Happy new year!

The other problem is that used cars are so damn expensive right now so I can’t just buy a used mx5 for 5-10K

Hello Everyone, i am working as a contractor with ZS and now i wanted to come to zs office. Will ZS reimburse all my expenses including travel and stay for a month.

Can someone on a Manager salary afford a $675k house on a single $140k salary? With 20% down?

Currently 25 years old.
Goals:
* Own a home in a HCOL
* 2 kids (eventually)
* Retire at 50 on $125k/year.

Envelope math:
* $125k/year would require an investment portfolio of ~$3M.
* Targeting a $2M home (split with partner)
* 2 kids - $1M to raise both (including college fund, split with partner)
* $500K buffer for unexpected expenses
* 33% tax

Therefore, 6.5-7M retirement savings needed. To hit this (assuming 6% return after inflation), I’d need to save ~$110k/year.

How does this sound?
