POINTS!!!! and Cash Back. Plus interest free loan.
This topic came up at work a few weeks ago and I mentioned how I have never paid interest on a credit card. The two guys first looked at dumbfounded then it was like they were in awe. I honestly didn't realize that we were so abnormal.
Yep. Yep. And yep.My $$$ is in an online bank paying 2.2% interest.
CIT Bank paying about 2.4% at the moment.
Let's talk debit cards. There are no advantages. Theft protection, return protection, building no credit rating, no 30 day interest free loan.https://youtube.com/v/vsMydMDi3rI
I’m curious why you say this.
I had the treat of spending many hours with Frank Abagnale (Catch me if you can)...I was a witness on his will signing. After prison release he had a long career as a fraud/white collar crime consultant, and our lawyers hired him to consult on a bunch of cases. Great storyteller too. What an absolute charmer of the ladies...the movie got that part right. He was gifted with innate high level intelligence and incredible attention to detail.
I don't get why people have like a dozen CCs. My wife has like 10 when we met and I've slowly whittled her down to 3 at most (our shared primary and one or two store specific ones she won't give up) so that we maximize points, minimize the number of cards we have to remember to pay off every month, etc.I don't get people who don't do it that way
He was the one that faked his way onto a hospital ship during Vietnam or Korea right? Then proceeded to fake being a doctor. THEN performed successful surgery? Because that is amazing.
The movie "Catch Me if You Can" was based on his life.
Your credit rating get hit?
Aye Ive seen it. Pretty good movie. However the person I was thinking of is Ferdinand Demara
Yup, look how the avg American is thousands of dollars in debt.....because they don’t or can’t pay the cards off.Avg debt is $5700 on credit cards.
I have a coworker who is about 47. He goes back and forth telling me a) how he and his wife live paycheck to paycheck and has nothing in savings (even though they make ~$120/yr between them) while he has the newest iPhone and buys cars new for him and his kids and b) how he plans to retire early at 59-60.I go back and forth between being stunned at his financial ineptitude and mad that he wastes my time telling me his big plans that have no possibility of coming true.
Something my wife and I don't get: expensive jewelry. She's always been very uncomfortable with expensive jewelry. I'm thankful that she doesn't get it; it's saved us quite a lot of money over the years. We've both been amazed by the amount of money that people spend on such things. When I graduated she bought me a nice watch -- with "nice" being relative -- $600 or $700 or so. Aside from our engagement/wedding rings, it's the most expensive piece of jewelry we've ever bought (and those rings weren't very much more) - and I rarely wear it. She has her grandmother's pearls, which I suspect are worth more, but I don't know - and aside from our wedding day, I don't think she's ever worn those. I've offered to "upgrade" her engagement and/or wedding rings which were purchased when we had no money, but she's absolutely not interested. Perhaps she'll change her mind once we're done paying for our kids' education...that (along with planning for retirement) has been our financial priority for years.
I don't get mosquito bites, I get bit but no longer have any allergic reaction to the bite, it doesn't even seem top leave a mark. I used to see bites on my arms etc., my wife will get bites sitting right next to me so I'm pretty sure I'm also getting bites.
