What airline credit card is best for Bay Area travelers? Or should I just stick to chase reserve? Was thinking Alaska or United since they seem to have better points value vs. Delta

Depends where are your top flight destinations. United has a hub in SF so they frequently end up being our best option in terms of direct flights and price. Having the United cc gives you some benefits you’d only get with airline status (early boarding, free checked bag) so it is worth it for me. I also have a Chase card since the points are more flexible though.

SFO is a United hub. If you travel extensively for work and personal. Makes most sense. Alaska is limited to where Alaska flies. Though their acquisition plans/intentions are seeking more slips.

Hi! Pretty new to this concept, and really early within my career (only 3 months in). Currently on my company’s 401k plan, contributing well beyond the minimum to receive a match, and maxing the amount I can put in right now (25%). Dabbled a bit in options and stocks in general. Any advice, guides, or starting places you would give someone in my shoes? Thank you in advance!

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide
