How should you manage your credit card situation if you’re joining McKinsey out of college? Do you pay the platinum fee for the company provided Amex and bill your personal expenses in that too? Or do you get another personal card like a CSR? Not sure what they provide vs what you should do on your own.

How are you a VP out of college lol

The company card is not a platinum, and there is no fee. Most people also have there own personal card to put hotels on, since hotels are the only expense we are allowed to put on our personal cards

likefunny

Do you pay for anything job related and get reimbursed on your personal card besides the hotel, like food and Uber’s?

Does getting a personal CSR or Amex plat even make sense if a lot of the on-the-job expenses happen on the company card? Would a lower annual fee card be better?

Get the Amex gold, rack up the points

Advice and tips for a first time rental property investor?

I am 24 saving up for my first property to purchase at the end of 2021 / early 2022 in the Long Island, NY area.

I’d like to save up around $50K in my HYSA for a property <$400K in LI. Does this sound reasonable?

Does anyone have any advice on investing in the LI area (best location, SFH v MFH) or just general first time rental property buying advice?

Thanks all

I just hit my lean fire number but am hesitating to pull the trigger, so was hoping to run it by people smarter than me:

- I have a few rentals that bring in ~$1800/mo cash flow, taxes are negligible, Capex incl.
- My paper assets will bring in ~$1200/mo at 3% draw
- I get free Healthcare at the VA
- No plans on kids
- My expenses haven't topped $30k/yr ever
- I could always reenter the workforce if needed (albeit probably not in consulting)

Please point out the flaws here, what am I missing?
