I think you mean AirPlay, rather than CarPlay (for car stereo systems). Here is the list of TV's that support AirPlay 2 (the standard you want).

You've already paid taxes on the Roth money. Not sure why you would want to put it into a (presumably) pre-tax 401k. You'd have to pay taxes on that money again when you withdraw it.

I don't even use currency anymore. If a neighborhood kid mows your lawn or shovels your driveway how do you pay? What about a babysitter? What about a neighbor who feeds your cat for a week?

Love my 2017 EZ-GO RXV. The AC motor helps with a longer range and it handles the hills much better than a DC golf cart. It also doesn't have a traditional parking break, it uses a motor break that automatically holds the cart in place.

We use ours around town more than on an actual golf course.

The unlimited DVR on YTTV should be great, but is poorly implemented. For example, it doesn’t remember where you were in the show if you change to something else.

This is odd. The Freedom/Freedom unlimited now earn more on dining than the $95 Sapphire Preferred. Either Chase is about to get rid of it, or there must be changes coming to it as well.
