^id agree with OW1 if you still traveled personally, but if you're looking more at non-airline spending and maximizing rewards, I'd go with the Premier Rewards Gold Card from Amex. Gets you points on restaurants, gas, and groceries, which are extremely rare categories for point cards rather than cash back. You'll get most daily use out of that, at a way lower annual fee.

I'd keep SPG Biz for Sheraton lounge access and (as a United loyalist) United Club card. $550 per year gets most basic elite benefits flying and at hotels. If you're a delta loyalist, I'd do Amex Plat, as it comes with delta lounge membership and SPG Gold, and Delta Gold card for priority benefits. And CSP is great for everyday spend, giving flexible points.

Currently 25 y/o making 70k/year in Boston. I grew up pretty poor and I have minimal financial education. A lot of my salary now goes towards helping my parents get out of debt. My parents are no longer able to live on their own, so considering selling my grandmas house where they live (maybe 550k), paying off their mortgage (100k) and buying a duplex (between them they make about 55k/year). Is buying a two family home a good investment ? How much can I afford to spend on a new house?
