Carbon::parse get just date

Question

I have a date stored as follows:

$user->password_expiry_dt

Carbon @1573228178 {#647 ▼
    date: 2019-11-08 15:49:38.0 UTC (+00:00)
}

I want to check if its expired without using the timestamp so currently i'm doing this:

Carbon::parse($user->password_expiry_dt)->hour(0)->minute(0)->second(0) <= Carbon::today()

Is there an easier or more elegant way to get the date without the timestamp as follows without having to chain all these extra setters?

2019-11-08 00:00:00.0

why not just set the date format for in the model? or overwrite the getter? — Jorge Y. C. Rodriguez, Nov 08 '19 at 18:28

I think Carbon::parse($user->password_expiry_dt)->startOfDay() will do it for you
