I like it. I found some good deals with delta points. Chicago to phillipines one-way 35k points economy, 70k points business. Plus the mqm's are great.

There's also a huge sign up bonus going on now that's worth like $800-$1000 depending on how you value them

I like it, haven't had a chance to use the points yet. If I had a choice I think I would switch to spg Amex and move points to delta if I ever need to

Spring for the Reserve. It's only a bit more and you get club access, and a shitload of MQM's

I’m 30 and my spouse and I want to save a million dollars in 15 years by age 45. I figured 1,000,000/15=66,666/yr need to save. To get to 66,666/yr, need to contribute:
-401k at 19500k x 2
-Roth IRA at 6000 x 2
-remaining $7833 x 2 in a brokerage account

Does this look good? Am I missing something? With discipline 2 people can save 1 million in 15 years?
