@VicVijayakumar New PF life hack unlocked

Drastically simplified our finances recently with 2 moves (money twitter pls tell me if this is stupid): - consolidated all spending onto the Fidelity 2% cashback credit card - started using our brokerage account as our checking account Paychecks goes directly into the brokerage. All bills get paid out of the brokerage account. -- Imaginary scenario: $30K roof replacement bill. If they take credit cards for no additional charge, I charge it to the card. CC bill is due in a month. Bills are always automatically paid in full so we don't owe interest. Now let’s say the bill is larger than the amount of cash we have. The balance gets automatically paid anyway using a margin loan. Our margin rate is lower than the credit card APR, and lower than our HELOC rate.

@RishiKapoor28 Sold out man 😅 I posted about the event a few times and kept saying to get tickets!

@virtualized6ix @virtualized6ix
