Worth opening Cap One Venture for the 75k miles? Don't need VX since I'm an AU on P2's VX.

Thinking it might be good just for the bonus/global entry credit and then downgrade to something with no AF. Problem is that I already own a Savor and I think Cap One has a (soft) 2 card rule. So not sure if this would block me from eventually getting a VX if I ever decided to (like if bonus goes back up to 90k+).

May not be the best option for you if you are already an AU for a VX and simply looking for a SUB + GE credit. There are other cards that can also do the job.

I was in a similar place and went with the PenFed PathFinders (already had a checking account that met some requirements to waive the annual fee) Another option is the USBank Altitude Connect with $0 in annual fees.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)
