Hey y’all! I have been thinking that this community could use a weekly discussion thread. Feel free to comment below with anything and everything money related that is better suited to a conversation or a quick question and answer than a full post. Some ideas include:
- Journaling about an ongoing job search
- Asking for ideas about how to manage an emergency fund
- Logging recent stock trades
- Talking about the impact of inflation on your budget
- Your plans for maximizing the rewards on a credit card
Again, those are just suggestions, if there’s really anything you’d like to talk about related to finance in your life, feel free to put it here.
It’s a weird card in that the ShopYourWay program is originally the points program for Sears and KMart. However, the points can be redeemed for gift cards on Raise at $.01/each. So at 3% back on dining & groceries and 5% back on gas combined with constant bonus offers, I’m averaging like 8% back each purchase. It doesn’t come with any travel perks, but as long as points can be redeemed on Raise it’s an amazing cash back card for my needs.
