Was thinking of getting a new travel card, wanted to know if AMEX is widely accepted in Europe or should I just stick to a Visa/MasterCard?

Stick to Visa preferably. Master Card accepted but not everywhere

Stick to Visa/MC

Amex isn’t accepted everywhere unfortunately. You won’t have issues with either Visa or MC.

Generally you get a travel card for the perks.

As for Europe bring an Amex and a visa. It never hurts to have multiple cards.

I also recommend opening a Schwab bank account as they reimburse ATM fees and have no FX fee. So you don’t have to bring a lot of cash but still have easy access if needed.

Okay finance gurus, I have an idea and interested in your thoughts. Might be a bad one so be gentle 🙂. I have a 2 yr old and another on the way. Need to start planning for college. I was thinking of buying a condo or 2 in lieu of saving and selling them down the line for tuition. Condos downtown are pretty inexpensive (T3) so it’s financially feasible. But is this a good idea or too risky?
