Chase sapphire preferred or reserve?

like

$95 annual fee vs $450, bonus/initial spend is not currently the same, the latter gives more perks like airline lounges. Both give the same day to day perks as far points per dollar earning

Sapphire Reserve is the best one out there for consultants. Amex Platinum is also a great card.

I use that one and the Amazon card most of the time.

Really good card

The 100k offer? It's a great bonus (pretty much the highest it'll ever get, with comparatively low spend) but the actual card doesn't have a lot of the extra benefits its sister card (with higher annual fee but currently lower bonus) offers. Great if you're traveling/expensing though.

I just got it myself for the bonus (and have had the card in the past) so it was worth it for me

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated.

I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

Losing motivation and drive as time goes on , and I’m only 27 . Nothing I’m passionate about and money just seems like it’s ever enough ($160k total comp) . I was lucky enough to be making that much at McK while solving social problems within education , Econ dev , and public health

However , social good isn’t pleasing my soul neither is the income . I’ve switched jobs to healthcare where I’m impacting people’s physical and mental health . Still no passion / drive

I feel lost / bored :(
