We’re nowhere near that in HHI.

But we do have a paid off house, which helps free up cash for travel, and are in a low tax state and have a auto and property insurer who lets us put those premiums on a credit card. (Which is sadly enough to hit a pretty big sign up bonus come December when those bills hit.)

I can’t blame Delta for discouraging me from being a customer. I’ve been a very unprofitable customer for them in 2023. I don’t try to outright game the system but I know the rules and procedures and knew how to work the old system in my favor.
