In reply to St. Nick @ PFD. Sounds good, we are in NYC. Watched the Lions game yesterday with my kids, tough to believe at 13-2 we have not even locked up the division yet. Enjoy the holidays too!

Merry Christmas to all! Having my parents out here for a few days which is awesome because my mom has been in a hospital the last few years but this year she’s good to go. Then we’re going back to their place in Chapel Hill for a few days while my wife’s brother and his family come down from DC for a visit. We’re using a couple of Hyatt free nights to house the ones that don’t fit in the house, so there’s your loyalty travel tie-in. Cheers!

@ David: Thank you, you too!

@ DML:So, what is next, dog ate the doctor’s note? 🙂 Good luck with that surgery.

@ Carl: Great news on the weight and diabetes! Yeah, these new drugs do work. Read an Atlantic article recently how in the US we are undergoing a health wave.

@ Elena: Welcome, good to have you around here and thanks for taking the time to comment. I started this blog to follow the action in my addictive hobby miles/points space. It has evolved over the years and lately I curate wonderful stuff I find and read online and keep it real to help people, you know, giving back and also keep me out of trouble. It has also been at the edge of shutting it down because it takes a lot of time and the monetary rewards are minimal. But the psychic rewards are enough I guess. Hope you stick around…me too! Enjoy the holidays, thank you.

@ Vicky: You are really influencing me on my miles/points philosophy lately. Yeah, I need to keep reducing the mental bandwidth and better get out there taking advantage of good health. Because who knows what happens…Maybe to do that I need to quit this blog. But it is my baby now and so hard to quit your babies lol.

Oh shoot, I need to pack

Well done on your burn rate for 2024. I’d say go hard and burn as fast as you can because let me tell you once interest starts waning it’s hard to care about the points. For us now, we use points if it’s easy on a carrier and route I want but other than that care factor is zero. ETF’s, wish I had of been smarter in converting from MM a long time before I finally pulled the trigger. For us now it is mainly ETFs with a handful of individual stocks which I am selling and taking the tax hit. Has to be done sometime.

Hey, I am retired and wake when I want and today that would be 8 am! Plus I am 2 or 3 hours earlier here time-zone wise. Don’t get riled at me.

Tons of good stuff here and gonna soak it all up over the next couple very busy days. Trip planning seems to be bogging down my growing older by the minute mind and then the holiday stuff, even the parts I try to avoid, are using way too much bandwidth!

Glad the weight thing is going good for you! I have gone this year from 212 lbs to 167! With the help of changed diet AND Ozempic but whatever works. My pre-diabetes seems to be under 100% control now so I am glad of that.

Thanks for staying with this as it is one of the most-looked-forward emails of the week for me!

Now, off to the day’s errands and assignments!

I can bring a note from the Doctor as an excuse for being late. Getting ready for cataract surgery in the right eye.

Thanks for all the terrific links. The financial industry’s opposition to ultra-low cost
index funds is a lesson in just how much trust we should place in experts.
