I pay mine off in full every month and get 3% back on groceries and gas (I think some other stuff too) and 1.5% on everything else so generally get enough for my flights to for a couple vacations a year. I have good debt on my commercial properties (refinanced them all right before interest rates started going up, got lucky) and am almost done with our home mortgages, will be happy when that happens. All toys & vehicles paid for. Wife & I bust our asses to do so and it is well worth it.

For anyone reading this, he is my best friend. He has way more money than me.

I wish, barely rubbing nickels together. But you are right, nobody likes me. Old story. Lived next door, more or less and never knew it. Fished against each other. Like vicious crap. I thank the good Lord, or whomever. Arguably, in my opinion, my closest friend. You won't say it, but I will. Like joined at the hip. He doesn't say it, or maybe feels it. Or not. He won't ever say it. My brain got fried a long time ago. Hard lesson to learn.

Don’t ever forget it. I was just a bait boy back then, washing boats and soaking in everything I could, and I looked up to you guys like kings. Hopefully I have made you proud now that I’m all grown up and come in to my own with all the rest of the island boys.

I have had a Chase 0% plus prime for life for 20 years or so. I have put some big charges on it over the years but it down to 1,000$ or so. Very handy, especially when investments are earning more % and I can leave that money alone.

So this is me being nice. We have a few places that accept cards. To me its like, what? Personally I only carry a debit card. Walk to bank, get money. I think they slap a limit on me. Maybe $800 a day. I think the points you get are cool. Just not my cup of tea.

In Spain we used CC zero times, just debit to get cash. In Sweden you would go hungry without a card, nothing is cash.

Bacon, sure wish I had met you when I was staying in Placida. You seem like a heck of a guy. maybe I could have helped you get rid of the jig guys, but apparently you didn't need help. Good on you!

I use my Amex for almost all things even some of our streaming services and even cable for that matter. I carry cash but only for "emergencies". I get cash back through Amex (if it qualifies). I can do all my budgeting through my Amex website. Fuck that paying cash shit.
