Awesome. I’m glad you are back at it then! I’ll be sure to re-bookmark and check back regularly!

I think the last time I read regularly was when I had a job in a physical office. Not saying I was reading instead of working….

Negotiate in cash… but then once you’ve established the price inform them you will be financing after all ; )

#6. Even though I have a Costco membership, I do not agree. Especially for a typical family of 4. TBH, When I rebelled and said no to warehouse memberships we saved a significant amount. Even if we were paying more per unit on average, we were buying significantly less overall. I estimate that not having a warehouse membership saved my family around $250 a month for that one glorious year.

But than again… How would I get my MEGA pack of Mochi…

I agree with a lot of these things. Although I do use credit cards a lot (and pay off every month). I think that’s true if you carry a balance then yes you should avoid using them. But otherwise the protections, etc are worth it.

I try to live as a student and budget and negotiate when I can. Glad to see J.Money writing? i thought I had read it was sold awhile back? Maybe I messed that up but its been awhile since I’ve read indeed.

I believe the credit agencies only check your accounts once per month, but I have noticed my score will bounce up 1 or 2 points if they happen to check on a day when the balances are a little higher than normal – like if I’m traveling and skip payoffs that week.

Yes – my credit score goes up a meaningless amount when I use 2% instead of 0% of my available credit. Credit scores are stupid.

In reply to Debt Free in RVA. Smart to get out once you realized it’s doing more harm than good! I did that with the first round of bitcoin “investing” a few years back (came ahead by a couple hundred) but this time around I have been the opposite of smart, lol… Good thing I’m always too conservative to bet the farm!

In reply to COD.

Weekly pay offs – impressive! I wonder if that helps with your debt-to-credit ratio any? It should since you’re only “in debt” for a week at a time…. That’s way too many logins for me though haha… My mind isn’t as bothered seeing a high number there, though I agree it would feel better with a lower one 😂
