Moving to Chicago and parents live in northern NJ, both United hub airports. Does it make sense to get the United credit card to access lounge and build up miles to subsidize flights back and forth and for other travels? Was also considering platinum by amex but doesn’t give access to United lounge

How often are you sitting at the airport for more than an hour? Lounge access seems like something I would hardly ever use. I’m not sure about the extra points and status the card would give you. That might be worth it. I switched from travel cards to cash back cards a while back for more overall flexibility.

Advice & resources? My spouse and I are starting to make good money (ages 28 & 31, $105k & $70k) with $10k in savings (we were hit hard financially this year) and 2 car payments.

We live in a cheap apartment ($1.3k) that is sh*tty. Don’t quite have a down payment (especially not in ATX). Is it dumb to rent a house for a year at $3k/month while we save up again?

We both didn’t come from $ and are figuring out how to not be idiots 🙃 tbh we would prefer to rent forever but that feels dumb???
