ADDITIONAL INFO
Overall, looking for my first travel card. Also interested in general cards with good SUBs or cashback categories.
I'm very fortunate to live rent-free with my parents in a HCOL area. My main goals are to save up for a car in ~1yr (around $45k) and begin earning my own travel rewards. I plan to move out after 2-3 years, and so I am preparing to spend a lot more on bills, grocery, rent, etc. Otherwise, a huge chunk of my profits are saved/invested.
