CSR. Will you be travelling in industry?

Not very often, no

Then CSR is a no-brainer then. The main differentiator for the Amex Platinum is the superior lounge access when travelling; otherwise CSR is the way to go

How do you redeem w csr? Transfer to airline/ hotel? Or redeem on csr travel credit spend?

D1, not 100% clear on what your last question is asking but let me try to answer both of them
-best redemption option is transferring points to Hyatt, United, or Southwest
- the $300 travel credit applies to pretty much anything travel-related (hotels, airline, rental cars, taxis, parking garages, etc.) The credit will be applied to your account automatically as travel purchases are made

I heard someone make a bold statement that contributing to a traditional 401k versus a Roth 401k were the exact same assuming the same tax rate. I ran the numbers and to my surprise they were not wrong (even considering the earnings). Can anyone explain why a Roth would ever make sense given that income will likely be lower and therefore lower tax rate in retirement?

My Android career is in a good shape in India. My parents are considering a marriage alliance with an NRI who is a Civil engineer in Texas.
