You just need to wait for my next blog post. Care to guess how the kid will retire?

You almost never see couples traveling the world year round with kids because they don’t have any (their choice). If I didn’t have any kids I could choose not to work many years ago;)

Travel Summary did lay it out:

If someone gets the card purely for the bonuses, the Sapphire ($500) and Ink cards ($625) get you more than either the barclaycard or ThankYou card. Anyone that travels only domestically could benefit from this. Anyone that flies on cheap routes can benefit from this. Anyone that can’t find award availability can benefit from this. Anyone that doesn’t fly United can benefit from this.

And I agree. I still do not have the arrival or thankyou card presently. Most don’t. In this specific circumstance it makes sense. We WILL ALWAYS be arguing about moves like this. People are different with different backgrounds, current situations and goals (learned that in my real job). These decisions are PERSONAL. I will never argue with anyone for burning if it made them happy, the miles are THEIRS and they can do whatever they want with them. Will I disagree sometimes? Sure. But I will let them enjoy the burning afterall.

I was supposed to go to the gym 2.5 hours ago, dang it!!!!

Someone can post all the original thought in the world the next time USAir is selling miles for 2.5cpm or offering a million United miles for 3cpm but if the premise is a dud then what’s it worth?

And that’s my 2c(pm) for the day.

Lol. I knew I would get some flak about this…I just did not have time to lay out all my assumptions, it was sooo late at night and I was scrambling to finish my post:-)

The main point I wanted to make (which I completely forgot!) was the article DID have some original thought behind it…something that is rare in this space these days.

OMG, modem…what is THAT? 🙂

sounds like a nice place to be! It has been so extremely hot this week it’s…brutal! The areas you are driving in sound so wonderful. We are supposed to have mega storms tonight and it will finally cool down!

Thank you! Most of my family would not relate either. Besides, I don’t have that many friends outside this hobby now, too busy reviewing blogs lol.

I had a few emails in the past few days asking me if i know what happened to you. Glad to see you back in the comments, we really enjoy your point of view and what you say!

I think I have a pretty good shot in making the opportunity costs worth it:-)
