I have the Capital One Venture card and want to get the Venture X.

Should I apply for the new card to get the points offer or just upgrade my Venture and see if they’ll waive the annual fee? options with pros/cons in the comments

Option 1 - apply for the Venture X.
Pro I can get the 75k point bonus. Cons: opening up another CC , having to close my venture transfer points, effects credit score. etc seems like a bit of a hassle.

Option 2 - just upgrade my Venture to the Venture X.
If I go with this, what are the chances they will waive the annual fee ($395) since i won’t get the miles bonus? Wouldnt be the same value as the 75k miles but not having to deal with opening a new card seems worth it.

Hey all! I’m 30 years old. About to close on a house with a 5.75% fixed 30 yr mortgage. If you were me and your goal was to maximize your net worth by retirement, would you put a few thousand dollars extra into paying down the house faster or invest that extra money in the market? The 5.75% doesn’t feel that low but also not crazy high so I’m torn. Thoughts? 🙏

I spent the last 3 months "growing up" & now I'm ready to go. 1st thing is for me to get my own place. I'd like to buy instead of rent because I don't want to pay someone else's mortgage.

I'm thinking of selling my car & cash out some of my 401k to buy a house. My thought is to put down 3.5% for a FHA loan then make a big payment towards the principal to reduce long-term interest.

Anything wrong with this thinking or anything else I should consider?

What’s the general guidance on the order to maximize retirement contributions for tax benefits for an normal individual and for a self employed/small business owner before moving to taxable accounts or alternate vehicles like cash value life policies?
I’ve seen for individual: match trad 401k->match roth 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max trad 401k->max roth 401k->max HSA
For self employed: max SEP IRA/solo 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max HSA

Of course situations differ but in general?
