Using the Bilt card for rent rewards

In this episode, Emily interviews Mrunal Zambre, a 4th-year international PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh. Mrunal details her money management system, from her checking and savings accounts to credit cards, and how she and her grad student partner split expenses. She focuses on travel credit cards and the Bilt card to reduce the cost of international travel. Thanks to her stipend—recently increased to over $40k—and low fixed expenses, Mrunal maxes out her Roth IRA annually and invests in a taxable brokerage account, even though she's not sure if she'll live in the US long-term.
