I personally think the Amex gold is one of the best cards out there right now

Do you get $150 of value from the perks/benefits of the card? If no, cancel. If yes, can you get the same or similar level of benefit from different, cheaper cards? If no, keep, if yes, get the other card then cancel amex.

Depends if then $120 in Uber credits and $120 in Grubhub/ Shake Shack/ Ruth’s / etc is worth it to you

You're making literally $90 if you can use all the credits

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?

Starting apartment hunting in NYC soon. Any tips and recommendations for studios & 1 bedrooms in the city in terms of price range, ROI, neighborhood, down payment, best time to invest etc.

It’s crazy how much close friends influence you.
Would you stay friends with someone that consistently makes bad financial decisions. Or distance yourself for like-minded folk.

I have a friend that is constantly trying to guilt me and pressure me into overspending, especially on “luxury” items. But I have different goals for my money and she doesn’t seem to respect that.
