Once a quarter or so, I do something I call "Look At Money Time." I go through my credit cards and bank accounts to see exactly what's going on. What subscription have I forgotten about? Just how behind on retirement am I? Is there a recovery program for ordering Seamless? The biggest financial conundrum for me lately is my American Express Platinum card. I wrote about Gen Z's love for Amex last year and in the process sold my skeptical millennial self on the whole deal, despite the $695 annual price tag. Now, Amex Platinum's yearly fee is going up to a whopping $895. The jump has turned "Look At Money Time" into "Worry and Judge Self About Money Extravaganza."
