Resigning from my job and have about 75k points on a corporate Amex. I don’t believe I am able to transfer these point to any of Amex’s free card options (since those are all cash back rewards). Is my best bet to transfer them to Delta at a 1:1 rate?

I strongly disagree with that advice (as someone sadly stuck with 500k Delta points). In general, it’s best to leave points in AMEX MR or similar programs that let you transfer to multiple partner program to maintain option value. Where that’s not possible, I’d suggest considering both the value of points (and it makes sense to view points as a currency, just like dollars), and distributing points across programs in case one or two alliances don’t have any award seats available (or don’t even serve) somewhere you want to go and another does. While there can be some value in having status in the alliance you’re redeeming miles on (so if you have Delta status, you may get treated better when flying Delta on an award than flying AA with no status on an award), if you’re looking to redeem miles for premium cabins, status doesn’t really matter anyway. You don’t earn miles on award tickets and you can already use business class check-in and lounges, have a generous luggage allowance, and board first when you’re in a premium cabin. No matter how much you might prefer Delta, or what status you have, it would be silly to spend 980k miles for a Delta business class award ticket to Australia when an AA business class award ticket is 160k miles (real example from just before covid).

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
