How do I find my true FIRE number, not the 4% rule based shorthand. I am at $3M net worth but I don’t own my home. Live in HCOL (SF/NY) where I could buy something but one, I feel I’m being a sucker buying inflated real estate, and two, I think my investments will compound faster than real estate. I’m 40. So should I calculate FIRE based on my current rent plus inflation, or based on taking on a big mortgage, locking up chunk of net worth into down payment and mortgage — and won’t then FIRE soon

Just started a new job (so long PwC!) where I expect to be traveling a decent amount next year (potentially once a quarter internationally, once a month domestically). The new company doesn’t have corporate cards so we’re allowed to use our own card for expensing work trips. Any recs for which card to open as my “corporate card”? I already have Chase Sapphire Reserve.

So possibly silly refinancing question: my understanding of refinancing is that if interest rates lower, you basically start a new mortgage with a new bank at lower rates and pay off your old mortgage. With this, there's some closing costs associated.

Assuming your old bank doesn't want to lose your business (aka, interest payments), why don't they offer to simply reduce the interest rate on your mortgage to what they're currently offering customers?
