Howdy! After the success of last week’s discussion thread, I figured we should keep going. 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.

    Curious if we have a large enough churning community here to create our own community.

    It’s a pretty decent personal hobby of mine, usually on the order of 5-10k/yr worth of SUB/MS and banking rewards a year.

    Happy to share some knowledge here as well if others are interested.

      I’m not sure how much churning we have representation for, given c/Finance is already on the smaller end, but could definitely be a good one to split out as activity increases!

      I would be interested in you sharing some knowledge. I have been working on assembling the Chase Trifecta for maximizing my day to day spending into rewards points, but I haven’t seen any offers that look good enough for a true churn to get and cancel or forget about the card after. I’m familiar with MS as manufactured spend in churning lingo, but what is SUB?

        On the same topic, I get a decent amount of information on new account bonuses and offers but don’t know if this community would be the right place to post them. It seems a bit out of the pattern since most of the posts are financial news related rather than personal finance or those types of topics.
