Travelpointsguy helps I think - yoj should aim for at least 0.7 cents per point

https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/travel/how-much-are-my-marriott-bonvoy-points-worth

I always try to get 1.5 cent per point at the very least. However, Marriott points will lose a lot of value in few months so if you don't have any plan use it.

Marriott is moving to a dynamic pricing mode for points redemption. This means that you won’t be able to use points against the fixed awards chart and get the same rate during peak demand where cash rates increase.

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash.

Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?

Is my manager forcing me out?

In our 121 last we had a good discussion on creating a personal development plan, with the idea being I’d write down clear goals & action points to get from my current level to the next, and I’d provide weekly evidence of it. I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??

So I’m curious why it didn’t get flooded and the profit margin dampened to a $/hr closer to other jobs with similarly easy entry?
