Is This the Most Important Habit for a Good Life?

For me, Money Mastery is basically one half of the overall Money puzzle. 

On the same level, I have Economics.  It’s the practical side whereas Economics is more about curiosity. 

It has many sub categories, already 4 or 5 tiers deep–and growing as more knowledge does.  Like it’s parent category, I break Money Mastery into two big chunks… Playing Markets and Financial Literacy.

Here’s a quick look at those.

 

As Seen By Me

To me:

Jesse is part teacher, part citizen journalist.

He’d probably reject both of those titles.  But I’ve learned a lot from him in a short time.  And I enjoy his take on the news.  He has a unique, entertaining type of wisdom.

He has helped me see some important truths.

It was over as soon as I heard him talk about forgiveness.

Jesse is one of those heroes like Jordan B. Peterson, that has shown me better ways to live out the principles I believe in.

Creating a Great Morning Routine

How to Create a Life-Changing Morning Routine

Starting your day off the right way is a skill.

If youAnd it’s definitely not a good first credit card.

So the first question is obvious:

Where Are You on Your Credit Card Journey?

The American Express Gold Card is a mid-to-end game card for most people.  It’s designed for higher spenders who value travel rewards.  It’s not a good starter card.  It’s an average churner card.  But it’s a great keeper card, especially when you pair it with the AMEX Platinum.

What Is Your Expected Value for this Card?

The Gold Card has one of the steepest annual fees in the industry.  So if you’re going to add it to your lineup, you need to make sure you’re going to be able to make the most of it.  While food and travel benefits are great, for most users it’s about earning (and using) MR points.

Will You Get Approved for this Card?

You need a solid credit history  for the Gold Card.  A good relationship with AMEX doesn’t hurt either.  Still, it’s not that hard to get approved for—despite the fact that many see it as a status symbol.  Most sources say approval begins with credit scores in the high 600s or low 700s.

How Will You Use the Benefits for this Card?

for travellers who spend money… best redemption options through platinum?… or something like that One of the drawbacks of MR points is ease of use

Does This Card Fit in Your Credit Roadmap?

You need a plan if you want to maximize the value of your credit cards.  That plan needs a goal, or a set of goals.  The Gold Card is only a good choice for you if it helps you achieve those goals.  This card works best for those who want to convert everyday spending into travel rewards.
