I’ll ask you then the same question I’d ask any non-consultant. What do you spend your money on?

In your case obviously ignore the flights and hotels.

Two hotly rebated ones are the Chase Sappahire Reserve and the Amex Platinum. You can find articles and reddit threads on it. I've seen threads here in the points bowl discussing them as well.

I chose the CSR because i don't fly internally as much to utilize the centurion lounges over the priority pass lounges (I usually get to the airport within 15 mins of boarding). There is also better coverage on flight changes.

I’m 26 and have a fair chunk of my NW tied to Cloudflare - a tech stock that I believe has the opportunity to 3x and become a $100b+ company over the long term. Similarly, I have a lot in cloud computing etf - WCLD.

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?
