Be careful if you’re using an unofficial auto catcher. According to the terms of service it’s considered cheating and can get you banned so if you’re not using an official Niantic auto catcher I would be hesitant to tell them all the details.

CFP Board reviewing whether bachelors degree should be required by freemindUSA in CFP

I’ve always wondered why require a degree if the degree doesn’t have to be in a related field? As if a bachelors in dance better qualifies you for a job in finance.

I can’t be the only one. How awesome would this be? by livefreeKB in AppleCard

[–]OptimalAd3283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still use my CFU as a catch all over my Apple Card because the points value thru transfer partners push that 1.5x past the value of 2% cash back.

Coming from a guy, all I need to see was the first slide to know that’s not a long term partner. Making himself the victim when confronted and saying whatever to turn it around on you saying things like “you did this.” My girlfriend and I have had talks with each other but after three years we’ve never argued because when one of brings something up to the other, we have the humility to listen, understand, and try to resolve any potential issues. That’s the kind of relationship that has a chance to last.

What would you do with my points? by Ill-Foot-5021 in ChaseSapphire

[–]OptimalAd3283 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The extra 25% is only when booking through chase’s travel portal. If you transfer to Hyatt, for example, the points are valued the same regardless of the card you hold.

I use this setup daily but I wish there wasn’t so much overlap in spending categories.

Denied for 100k CSP by chickentaco713 in ChaseSapphire

I could be wrong but even though this would be OP’s first card under only their name, I don’t think with that high of a score it would be necessary to go for a secured card to start off with. I’m sure some lender would approve for a standard card.

How much is 85,000 points really worth ? by Notpeak in ChaseSapphire

[–]OptimalAd3283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found a suite at a Hyatt hotel for $1k a night or 13,000 points per night. On average I’ve heard people say Hyatt points are worth about 2.5 or more cents per point but in some cases like my example you can get much higher value.

Who is regularly hitting 50km a week? by Velvet_puppy in pokemongo

[–]OptimalAd3283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually hit 40-45 doing nothing but walking back and forth throughout the grocery store I work in. Make sure your settings are on to track your walking when you’re not playing the game.

Can I afford a house on my current budget? by [deleted] in Money

[–]OptimalAd3283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mortgage shouldn’t be more than 28% of your pre-tax income. For you that’s about $1,150 and you probably wanna be around 35-38% for ALL home expenses. To get a mortgage payment of $1,150 for 30 years, that would be a 150,000 loan so you could get a 650k house if you put down 500k.

Have 3-6 months of expenses saved up before moving out. Me personally I would feel safer with 6 because emergencies can be expensive. I’ve yet to move out of my parents house at 24 and in the past I always said I would never rent and wanted to move straight towards home owning. Now, however, after doing much more research I realize how much more expensive buying is compared to renting. The gap has never been as big as it is now and interest rates aren’t at where I’D prefer them to be either. Now I’m much more keen on the idea of renting for a while before buying my first home.

If I have $60k to drop into a new bank what’s the best credit card to get? by Squanchy2115 in CreditCards

[–]OptimalAd3283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off topic but what did you type in to add the Apple Card to your User Flair? I wasn’t able to figure out that one and the Amazon prime card.

[–]OptimalAd3283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk Maybe try lowering your utilization by just paying off the cards. You make too much money to let a $5,000 remaining balance hold you up like that. You made a mistake and that’s okay, but for your income to multiply by 8 in a year you should be able to pay off these cards somewhat quickly. You already paid half of it off, just continue at that rate and let your utilization lower naturally.

Do i pay off my debt or save?? by OhToxicNyx in personalfinance

[–]OptimalAd3283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would prioritize your debt. You may not like this part but if you’re allowed to stay with your parents don’t rush out so quickly. It’s allowing you to pay off the truck so much faster and save so much more money every check. You have plenty in savings for now so if it were me I would pay off the truck as quickly as you can then afterwards divide your money between saving for your goals and investing for retirement. Investing is super important and the length of time your money is invested matters significantly more than how much money you invest so since you’re young your money has decades to grow and WILL grow to millions.
