No etched version available for AMEX Corporate cards. Managed to get my punched version replaced for Delta Amex though.

Can you rephrase in layman terms please?

Sure. So traditional credit and debit cards have raised numbers because that’s how original card readers used to function. But new readers just use swipe or chip functionality. So the raised numbers are not really required anymore.

The issue with raised numbers, albeit a first world issue, is that they cause your wallet to be thicker when you have too many cards with raised numbers. So, some cards like the BoA Travel Rewards card and the Delta Amex card have gone with etched or printed numbers on their cards.

If you use a newer wallet, like Secrid or Ekster, the space saved from etched numbers begins to matter.

Now typing out stuff like this is the best use of all this free time I have over the weekend. 😊

My fiancé and I (ages 30 and 31) are about to buy a house. We would put down 10% for a 835k purchase price. Our combined income is $265k. We both have around 7-10k left in emergency funds (each) and combined about 200k for retirement. Our mortgage is $4,500 a month and we split a car payment for $800. Is this an okay financial decision or should we have bought a cheaper house/saved more?
