👉 Credit cards aren’t freedom — they’re bait

“Just build credit bro” they said. “it’s easy” they said.
meanwhile: you got a card. $3,000 limit. spent $1,200.
your statement says: “Minimum due: $35 😄”
you pay it. feel smart. but months later, the balance hasn’t dropped. you’re paying interest on interest.
that “0% APR for 12 months” thing? it ends. you blink, and BOOM — your balance is hit with 25% back-charged interest. and the points you earned? barely cover a $5 Starbucks drink.
banks want you to think credit = freedom. but the moment you carry a balance? you’re paying THEM.
$1,000 charged = $250+ interest in a year = "freedom" my ass.
how to not get played:
pay your balance in full.
never use a credit card to buy something you couldn’t buy with cash.
ignore the flashy cashback, points, miles.
know your APR.
credit = tool, not money.
you’re not bad with money. you just weren’t taught how the game works. and the banks? they like it that way.
learn the game. then break it.

hello again.
i’m sorry i’ve been quiet and i know the timing for so many of you is terrible but if you have the time i’d really appreciate some help paying my bills or buying groceries
(the first link will take you to my ko-fi, the second link will take you to my throne wishlist which has gift cards to one of the big supermarkets near me)
thank you to all of you for sticking with me and for your help so far this year. i love you all very much 💜
#pfh personal#i don’t even know what to tag this with#i’m trying so hard to get a job and i’ve been trying since january but there’s no work#i’ve got about £2700 worth of debt breathing down my neck just from trying to stay alive#and every penny of my benefit payment goes to meeting minimum payments each month#sorry to be sad in the tags

oh my fucking god, if i want to be able to filter kofi/patreon payments in a way that would let people automatically pay for either basic or premium memberships on my site, i have to pay $20 a month for the fancy plan on zapier. if you don't want to pay through my site directly you have to suffer in silence regardless of how much you're paying, i guess.
#original#i'm in an absolute shit-tier midspace#where i need more than free services can give me but i'm not big enough to need all the features they're making me pay for#there will not be more than 100 payments through patreon and kofi combined#wait fuck i have $1 patreon members#i can't give patreon members a fucking discount#so i guess i just. have to. not automate that one at all either. fuck me.#ko-fi has a minimum payment so it can stay i guess

they should let me explode things with my mind. for enrichment.
#borbtalks#yay i love unexpected additions to my budget#yay i love new policies that make it so im paying extra for shit i can't even use#(mandatory parking spot getting new permit system. permit is tied to a vehicle. i don't own a car.#i can't get a permit for guests to use my spot. im effectively paying for a parking spot i can't even use.#have already asked landlord if i can stop paying for it. since their new rules make it so i can't even use it)#(and like 95% of rental assistance programs like the one i use will help with utility payments. but not the one im in !!#which they don't make fucking clear on their site !!!#and of course the unit i picked i have to pay all the utilities on my own !!!!#AND they just changed policies so if i had signed my lease after the new year i could've gotten a much cheaper rent#BUT NO IM UNLUCKY AND HAD TO MOVE OUT BEFORE I KILLED MYSELF. BC SPENDING XMAS WITH MY FAMILY WOULD'VE DONE THAT#aha.#medicaid suggested i should apply for food stamps even before i moved out#but according to a calculator. even with all my new housing costs with rent and utilities. i would only get the absolute minimum in snap#besties is a stressful interview + application process worth it for only $20/a month#like woohoo. i could get a teensy bit of money off my grocery bill. this is totally worth it /s)#dont get me wrong i would choose this stress over living with my parents any day. but that doesn't mean this isn't stressful

my parents paid off one of my loans yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
#shitpost#my main issue with my parents for awhile was that they weren't really helping me (esp compared to my siblings)#and like. they're the reason my debt is so steep because i barely got federal aid#b/c my parents do well enough that the govt expect them to pay for my school but they weren't really able to in actuality and blah blah bal#anyways. my monthly payment went down by $100 and so it isn't almost 1k anymore#it's a much more manageable 850.#i hope. i can put some more money towards this because thats still higher than i pay for my mortgage lmaooooooo#i fucking hate u private loans.#ok sorry. im very happy about this#ALSO this payment has made my total owed finally less than what i make in a year#if i only pay back the minimum though i still have 8.5 years of paying so uh......hoping to get that to decrease....#but if im saving 100 more dollars a month (and im probably getting a raise in april next year) then i can shove some more money at them..#sorry these loans fuckign consume a huge part of my life fml lol

ecuador is truly an experience bcs we are constantly going through everything and it constantly gets worse because what the fuck do you mean theres a forest fire in Guapulo, another one in Vilcabamba, like theres forest fires amid a water crisis due to its WORTS drought in 61 YEARS! people dont have water in certain places, electricity cuts that last AT LEAST 8 hours because of the energy crisis in the entire nation, and yet!!! we are expected to go as if nothing is going on!!!!
#ecuador#ecuador moment#honestly i started crying today because of everything#did you know that payments are delayed in the medical area for a minimum of approximately one year#like no shit no wonder doctors nurses emergency rooms are just so damn tired! no wonder people are getting mad!#everything is so fucking expensive!!!#we are in a recession!!!#not to mention the constant insecurity!!!!!#job insecurity food insecurity all the fucking insecurity#rant#coronangelic1 thoughts
