I have the Citi Double Cash card. Its 2% on all purchases. Its simple, easy, and I'm not sitting here optimizing spend for dumb reasons.

I also think miles are pretty useless for me so I really don't want those.

I use Fidelity’s reward card for 2% on everything and Amazon’s visa for 5% off at Amazon and whole foods.

Don't chase every day spending categories / cards, go after signup bonuses (you can easily get 10-15%+ return)

McK, here are some stats:

2020 FICO 8 Scores
-Transunion: Avg 786, Low 775, High 791
-Experian: Avg 785, Low 775, High 789
-Equifax: Avg 791, Low 770, High 805

2021 FICO 8 Scores
-Transunion: Avg 784, Low 774, High 791
-Experian: Avg 783, Low 777, High 786
-Equifax: Avg 794, Low 785, High 804

Overall recs: space your applications out by a few months, go after business cards too as they don't report to your personal credit report, don't cancel cards - downgrade or get retention offers, and stop applying for new cards appx. 4-6 months before shopping for mortgages.

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.

Lot of fear in the market right now (understandably so). The situation in Ukraine is awful and the potential consequences are scary to think about.

There are some who want to sell in fear of their investments falling further. Do not do this. Hold and continue to buy more. Continue your 401k contributions, and add whatever you can afford after every paycheck into your brokerage. Those who sold the covid crash were often late buying back in.

This is the dip you're worried about.
