I don't know, most of it is just dining. And it's not usually more than $20 per night. So like $600/mo dining, $50/mo cable internet bill, and the rest is basic small things like uhh toilet paper.

No/very little groceries because I eat out every night.
No gas or public transit expenses because I walk to work (and everywhere).
No cell phone bill because lol that is the only thing my parents still pay for since we're on a family plan.

Living in NYC isn't as expensive as people think. Most of it just goes to rent [not credit-card-able]. You'd probably spend more on a credit card living in the suburbs (gas, groceries...)

Anyway, the only better card out there than the CSP, given my dining expenses, would be the 5% cash back U.S. Bank Cash+, but I can't seem to get it because it's only offered in branch (not even over the phone) and the nearest branch is 600 miles away!
