Hearing about people's CC ๐Ÿ’ณ debt makes me sad ๐Ÿ˜• (srs) (damn)

The interest is so high ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ and it hurts to think of someone with a low salary falling into this hole of high-interest debt ๐Ÿ˜”

I don't blame it on the bank ๐Ÿฆ ๐Ÿค” at the end of the day, the bank is lending them money and the borrower has agreed to pay these rates ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค” The borrower should know that there's no such thing as free money ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ I guess it's more sad to think about what got them into this situation ๐Ÿ˜•

Been paying off my credit card accounts in full on a monthly (or sooner) basis, for roughly 5 years now srs. Credit score is around the 790's, my banking app tries to give me "up to $500k for a house" and "up to $50k for a car" deals all the time lol. They also keep multiplying the maximum of my credit card limits, however at this rate I'll be shocked if my balance ever gets anywhere close to 10% of that limit tbh.

I realize the above is a brag blog, but really I'm writing that because it's my behavioral habit to ensure my credit cards are fully paid off very often, as well as to ensure I have enough in checking to cover any of that off while also having an emergency fund to boot. People who don't do this are idiots - unless of course they're going through an emergency or something.

A family member of mine has a house and refuses to pay a monthly bill of like $100 to get the HOA's third party company to mow their lawn. So instead they've gone through three different mowers, and decided to "buy" a nice fancy one with a credit card for over $4k SRS. They are lower middle class income, and their interest rates are ABOVE 30%. Absolute stupidity, would've been better off just paying for the landscaping service tbh, that's what I plan to do whenever I own a home.

I make like 3 transfers to my CC's ๐Ÿ’ณ every month even though I have autopay ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ Too worried about ruining my credit score ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

Holy crap @ your family member ๐Ÿ˜• I feel bad ๐Ÿ˜ข but at the same time financial decisions like this just don't make sense ๐Ÿ˜”

Technically the Torah only prohibits charging interest on poor people ๐Ÿค” Which makes sense IMO because if you can afford to pay a high interest rate and want to, then that's on you ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ An argument can be made that banks ๐Ÿฆ aren't doing this because if you're poor you can't even qualify for a CC ๐Ÿ’ณ ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

That said, "poor" is vague and changes with time ๐Ÿค” If someone lives paycheck to paycheck for example I don't think banks should be allowed to let them borrow money at such high interest ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค” but I'm not really sure how to mandate that in law, maybe make borrowing money from CC almost as hard as a mortgage ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

Credit cards are a legal scam. BRB, pay them to spend money, lol.

Pay cash and be done with it. I have cards but just donโ€™t use them outside of fuel but itโ€™s paid off monthly.

Rack up 6-11k/mo in cc charges between business expenses and life stuff. Pay it off every single month. Make an extra like 1500-2k/year in cash rewards just by doing this. I never understand why people pay debit for anything-- all you have to do with credit is keep track and don't spend more than you have in the bank, and pay it off when you get the bill.

I have a couple credit cards and use them for the necessities and pay them off each month. After my divorce I spent 9 years not using credit for anything. So I got these, use them for stuff like groceries, gas etc and pay them off every month to improve my credit. I went from high 600's to mid 700's the past year.

Bust Out Fraud is when you make all your payments on time at first, thus increasing your credit limit, then borrowing all you can for cash and prizes, then just dont pay it back; and the consequenses be damned. Just Bankrupt everything.

Because he has 11K in expenses that he will have to pay for one way or another. Why pay it with debit when you can pay with credit, then pay that off with debit and pocket 2k in rewards? Not that hard that understand.
