We have simplified over the years. We currently have a 2% cash back Citi card that has transmogrified over the decades since we first got it. We also have our trusty Costco Visa card that we use only when we shop at Costco. We recently got an Amazon Chase card for its 5% back in all Amazon purchases. And lastly, and my favorite, is our Apple Card in our Apple Wallet. Simple, Daily Cash back and I use it at every opportunity. I pay with my Apple Watch and never need to take a credit card or cash out of my pocket. And like many, if not most here, we pay all balances well before they are due. I check my accounts every morning with my coffee and immediately pay off any and all balances, no matter how small.
26 years active duty USAF for me and I strongly disagree with #2. There is no way I would support a draft so politicians and generals can open the pipeline for an unlimited amount of young people to be used as cannon fodder. I joined during Vietnam when the war and the draft tore apart our country. So, nope on #2.
