Gift card

Technically it depends on how you value the points. If you value the points at 2.7 cents per point then the math is easy.

Got it thanks. Prolly take card since im preferred rn. Working towards platinum

Hey friends. My wife and I are looking to start investing in the market outside of our 401ks, hsa etc. We opened a Charles Schwab brokerage account and planning to transfer 2-3k/mo. We’re in our late 20s/early 30 and likely won’t need to touch the money for 10+ years. What should be our investment strategy? How should we allocate to what funds? Thinking of splitting evenly across large, mid, small caps, and growth, value funds using DCA.

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly.

Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments
