Still struggling to figure out how to easily use a budget app like YNAB with expenses/reimbursements. I thought about dedicating a checking acct and CC to expenses - any best practices?

I have always used a separate credit card and separate checking account for that.

I usually just have a category for "work expenses" or something and then have both expenses and reimbursements go against that. It should net to zero obviously

@BCG, can you put all your expenses (airfare, hotels, and daily food and snack spend) on your personal card? Do you need to use the corporate Amex for anything?

@BCG2 yup I've just gotten so sick of doing expenses I'll only put big ticket items on my personal card

Do you pay expenses out of pocket?

@pwc1 yep reimbursements are deposited into our checking accounts

Just use the corporate Amex

How does the BCG expense policy work? Do you all have corporate Amex?

@mck1 we do, but I book big-ticket travel on personal card - hard to let go of $200+ in points a month ($5K+ in airfare and hotel, PRG has 4x for travel booked through Amex travel).

Our airfare and daily expenses go on Amex and then hotel goes on personal

You wipe out that $200/month if you forget to expense one flight

You can use personal card for anything.

Get second personal card with your middle initial (or without if your current card has one) and exclude from mint. Then I just submit everything on that statement.

Can someone help me with this? I had a low utilization since pandemic, I.e., ~sub 5%, but never missed any payments. Would credit score be impacted if only one line of credit with a low utilization?

Too few accounts currently paid as agreed

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.

I only bring in a little over $2,600 a month. After paying all my expenses, I get to put away $500 a month in savings but don’t have much wiggle room for anything else, including going out money.

You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes?
