I’ve cashed out on big purchases using Citi’s 2% cc. It’s one of my preferred cards for fat balances.

I also have CSR. Just not as attractive rn bc of the pandemic and travel.

Unpopular opinion probably, but depending on your spending category, Discover matches all your cashback in your first year. So if it falls within the 5% category, you get potentially 10% cashback, if not, you get 1% (with the match, you get 2% at the very least) on par with other cards out there.

I am sure this is a question with an obvious answer, but does anyone else just feel absolutely trapped in a job they hate because of their student loans? I’m three years out of law school and I still have $160K in student debt despite making aggressive payments. I work in a larger firm (not big law per se, but 250+ attorneys and big for the market). I am pretty unhappy with my job the vast majority of the time, but I feel like I have no options. $160k at 6% and 7% interest cannot be ignored.
