Spend that money on every day things and get a travel credit card and those seats will end up being free

Do you recommend one? There are so many that confuse me and have high annual fees!

The Venture X currently has the lowest fees of the big 3 and you essentially get your money back every year via travel credits and points so if you travel a lot it's going to feel like no skin off your back. Amex Plat and Chase Sapphire Reserve have a lot more perks but they also cost a whole lot more and it might not even be stuff you're into (like Peloton, Doordash, Lyft Pink etc).

When I was younger tbf I'd have travelled with that money but sadly now I would probably invest it.

I would:

a) pay off my credit card debt
b) pay off my student loans
c) put a nice wad into savings and 401k
d) get my website off the ground

Pay off my student loans but save a lil for a shopping spree.

Money has been a weird thing for me in my life. I’ve had “money” in my life but vultures like lawyers and university gobbled that up. I was very open about it (my mistake) and I think friends thought that meant I didn’t need to worry about money when it was quite the opposite.

People joke about how even if they took investment classes in high school they would t have learned but I think even a kernel would have helped.

So many athletes deal with that. Sorry, I’ve been up since 2am and have a million thoughts happening.
