I beat your airline spend on a single ticket

Hotel nights = I lose; Airline miles = I lose. Way too much travel.

Probably a lot of redemption nights when not on business and some extra padding in there from credit card night credits.

20 nights; 38k miles

58 nights; 52 segments - 78, 629 mqms, $10,160 mqds

Hotel: 166 nights @~30k (includes ~2 weeks of bonkers vacation redemption)

Airlines: $78k EQD, 315k EQM, 156 EQS

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Additional Posts in Consulting

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
