My goals are always to just do the best I can and continue to manage my finances as I have. I don't really have any score goals anymore as they are all high. I still want to add a Citi DC card but I'm not sure when I will. I will be inquiry free on all my bureaus except one on EX after March. I've been in the garden for about 18 months now but that will change in May or June when I lease a new truck.

Definitely no gardening.  Too much money to be made.  More business cc sign up bonuses early in 2019, and a couple personal sub's as I slowly taper off and hand the torch over to player 2 who is primed and ready.  She'll start with chase cards slowly through the year and then full on throttle in 2020 while I take a much needed 2-year break.  Looking forward to having her get all the cards I got.  Also excited to get the SW companion pass again.  Very successful 2018 with over 800 K pts, and big cash back from our business spark.  Good enough to consider the CC game a side gig.

Bought my first car in high school with my own savings from washing dishes and bussing tables at local Chinese restaurants, $800 78' 280z with a totaled title due to flooding, the thing was so rusted I can see the road under my feet while going 100+ MPH. Smiley Surprised

Outside of the gardening, I have no direct plans to HP for anything in 2019. So my #2 would be growing what I can through SP increases. My utilization is already holding steady at 1%. Not much going on for me. I know...boring! lol

#1 is "try" to garden.
#2 is close a few cards.

If #1 doesn't work, then #2 moves up in rank, and the new #2 goal would be to Combine Discover cards (round 2), and CLI USB and BOFA

1. No new cards

2. Pay off BT on AmEx ED

3. Possibly upgrade CSP to CSR
