20.5% x $31,641 = $6,486.41

Credit Card Analysis
We believe Randy would benefit most from a Travel Rewards credit card that allows him to accrue rewards points on everyday expenses and Travelling around the world. To maximize reward point benefits and financially support his long-term objective of annual travel, Randy is willing to spend up to $200 in annual credit card fees. We used comparative analysis three leading credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. With criteria’s such as annual fees, purchase rates, cash advances, and reward benefits were established and evaluated for each card. Additionally, the reward benefits
were weighed and analyzed based on the ease of acquiring identical quantities of points in purchase dollar value.
Based on our analysis, we chose TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card for the most suitable choice for Randy. Despite having an annual fee of $140, the card offers 3 TD Points per dollar spent on all purchases, which can be redeemed for travel, goods, and services, including flight tickets, hotels, and major retail gift cards. The card also boasts a generous welcome bonus of up to 20,000 TD Points and is compatible with Expedia for TD, allowing greater flexibility in travel booking. Furthermore, the card provides extensive travel insurance coverage for trip cancellations, interruptions, medical emergencies, and baggage, along with access to concierge services and emergency assistance.
With these factors considered, the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card aligns best with Randy's financial goals and offers the most advantageous terms and benefits over the long term.
Rent vs. Buy/Mortgage
Randy's monthly housing budget: $85,000 x 30% / 12 months = $2,125
Randy's maximum mortgage amount: $425,000 (calculated using a mortgage calculator with a 2.5% interest rate and 25-year amortization period)
Home purchase price Randy could afford: $425,000 + $85,000 (down payment) = $510,000
Monthly mortgage payment (including property taxes and homeowner's insurance) for a $510,000 home with a 2.5% interest rate and 25-year amortization period: $1,967 (calculated using a mortgage payment calculator)
Total monthly cost of owning a home: $1,967 (mortgage payment) + $500 (maintenance costs) =
$2,467
Annual cost of owning a home: $2,467 x 12 = $29,604
Annual cost of renting: $1,800 x 12 = $21,600

As we can see, owning a home has additional costs to consider, such as property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and maintenance costs, which result in a higher total monthly and annual cost compared to renting a home. Based on the analysis, renting a home would be the more financially viable option for Randy at this time. However, it's important to note that this analysis is based on several assumptions
