I currently have an Amex platinum edge. I used to have a girlfriend that led to expenses exceeding $30k per annum. After my break-up, my expenses have literally halved, to about $15k to $20k per month. Now I feel the $195 annual fee isn't worth it. Which is the best cc that has minimal to no fees, and offers good rewards and other benefits (airport lounge, brand offers etc).

I'm agnostic to interest rates since I always pay my cc bills on time and never incur any interest charges. My expenses are usually groceries, shopping at mid range stores, and occasional travel to domestic and international destinations.

I don't think they ever showed Abdul living in the society, he's always supplying goods or helping with odd tasks. Does he actually live in the society or is he just working as an unpaid labourer?

I'm interviewing at Dentsu Australia for a Performance Director role. This is 100% FTE meaning the position is fully funded by the client. With all the financial turbulence the company is experiencing, is it safe to take up this role?

For context I'm currently at another hold co as a director and have been in this role for 3 years now. I've plateaued completely, and my manager says it's better if I find a role elsewhere if I want growth. My salary has also been the same I started 3 years ago. It's quite frustrating and I've been looking out for opportunities for a while now but the market is so bad that I don't get a lot of callbacks with 20+ applications per week.

My concern with Dentsu is how the company is performing financially and whether a client funded role is safe enough? Anyone working in Carat/iProspect Australia, what's your experience right now?

I (33M) went out with this woman (29F) last weekend. It was our first date. She came across as this absolute green flag. She was extremely enthusiastic, beautiful, warm and loving, yet grounded as a person. We were getting along really well, she was laughing at all my jokes, appreciating my efforts in planning the date and I just couldn't get enough of her. She ticked all boxes, and half way through the date I felt I was already planning to spend my life with her (corny I know, but its who I am).

Now for some context, I live in a foreign country. I do not have any family here and I moved here very recently (about 3 years ago). So I also do not have a huge social circle. A few months ago I met a different woman on a dating app. We got along but I did not have any romantic feelings for her, neither did she for me. We ended up becoming good friends. Neither of us ever had any feelings so it was easy to hang out. I wouldn't normally do this if I were in India but being in a foreign country I only knew a handful of people and I didn't mind getting to know more people even if it was through dating apps.

So back to present date, we were down 2 bottles of wine. I do not know what possessed me, but I told her I have this friend I met through a dating app and ended up being friends. She did not take that well. One minute we were connecting really well, and the next minute, it all shattered. A couple of days later, she messaged me she cannot continue seeing me, knowing I have a friend through a dating app. She was old school and did not feel comfortable with that. I told her I value her and the connection we developed far more and I would have no issues breaking things off with the other person. For more context, something similar happened to me 6 years ago, I was in a relationship and my then girlfriend had a male friend whom she met through a dating app. I felt like shit and despite telling her that she kept meeting him. I told my present date that I have been through it and I would never put her through that feeling, and if there is anything I can do to make it work in addition to breaking things off with the other person. She has not responded yet.

Do I stand a chance? I know it was a mistake to tell her right away, and I cannot stop cursing myself to ruin something that could have been so special. But at the end of the day, to er is to human, so I do not know how to recover from this. Any advice is welcome.
