if i recall his story correctly he went to the bank, withdrew all the money from his account, put it in a backpack, rode his bike over to the car dealership, and bought a $12000 honda or smth

second what Lurch said.

@J.: heh, we know of many couples who got help from mommy and daddy, in the form of entire downpayments on $350,000 houses. Makes me sick. Having grown up in blue-collar Ohio, I had no idea this practice even existed.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Fuck. Went over my limit on 1 card and was charged a wopping $35.

Hear hear, I always thought it kind of stupid to buy stuff for money you don't really have

Median home price for Riverside, CA: $455,000.00

I'll never see that kind of scratch in my bank account unless I won the lottery, and even then it'd have to be one of the big ones.

I'm in debt. It sucks, but I don't pay much interest. Eh, such is life. Even so, I have an amazing credit score. As of last year it was like 727 or some bullshit. The rules are weird, but easy to follow.

EDIT: I support this whole bank blowing up business.

I don't understand the bit about credit score, nor the rest of your post either tbh. How is this differernt from a regular loan from a bank?

P.S. I hate money

 

[Reign in Acai]

I owe $4,000 in credit card debt. I have the money to pay for it, but the thing is I don't want to. God damnit, once I pay this shit off, I'm not going to go ape shit with these fucking things. Recklessly spending money and not bothering to pay it off the same month ends up being a kick to the balls when the cards eventually get maxed out, and you're left staring at the bill, wondering what the hell you have to show for it. FAWK.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

fuck credit cards. debit ftw

 

[Krilons Resa]

lol, fuck this thread.

i settled it for $3000.

Earlier this year I was nearly $11,000 in debt, a divine number that I built over a period of 7 years. I don't think more than about $2,000 of that was in interest though, I was always flipping it back and forth between whoever offered the 5% interest rate teaser bullshit. I always had more money invested than I did have owed to banks, so I was lazy in formulating a plan to pay it off until earlier this year when I finally grew tired of it, and since I fell into a situation of being rent-free for a spell, I had no excuses left.

Today? Zero, zilch, nada, adios muchacho, fucking gone. Paid the last of it off this afternoon.

I hope I never do that again. *knocks on wood*

 

[Evil?]

Congrats. Debt can be a serious mental drain.

 

[dorian gray]

Considering the US trade deficit is in the trillions of dollars, aren't we all in debt anyway? I mean, someone's gotta pay that shit off.

 

[lurch70]

try upstarting a business and surviving for over two years as it grows, bah ... everything starting to get paid back now though.

 

[dorian gray]

Sweet.

 

[NAD]

The wombat is in business, and business is good.

Fuck debt!

One year later, finally paid these fucking things off!!!

I also learned that starting up a portfolio is fucking futile without a couple g's of capital to play with. Most respectable mutual funds ask for an initial 5k-10k investment. So I pulled out before I even begun ram-rodding my portfolio to Trump esque proportions. Marla Maples, you're going to have to wait.

Bah humbug.

 

[dorian gray]

LOL I remember this thread!

Good job paying off the man, Jerry! Proud of you. I'm eating this chili covered baked potato in your honor

 

[cthulufhtagn]

i've accumulated a couple grand on my credit card over the past year or so...but i FINALLY have a shitblasted job to pay it off at least

 

[Achtland]

It's time for a de-evolution revolution!
