Sure but if we pay off the full debt our FICO credit score will go down. You gotta carry a balance nowadays.
Just as a heads up, you dont need to carry a balance and be charged interest - you can pay off your cards each month, and thus never accumulating interest, and still have an improved score; simply pay the statement balance before the due date
I wish this were true, but I have personally seen my credit score go down when I finished paying off accounts like car loans. A FICO credit score is a measure of how profitable a customer you are, not how likely you are to pay it back. Credit cards are a particularly expensive way to do this, but lemme assure you that taking out a mortgage will do wonders for your score.
Fresh out of highschool? Wtf... Are kids really not getting jobs while still going to highschool anymore...
We were getting jobs as soon as law allowed us.
Am I out of touch or is this guy just an extreme privileged cunt?
not as much anymore. it's hard enough for a grown adult to have a 20 year old car and an entry level service industry job, which I hear from boomers is what they could afford with a part time job in high school.
some teens still work but usually only if their families really need the money. middle class teens are told to laser focus on college resume padding, so grades and extracurricular are what they end up doing. parents worry that a job will distract from algebra homework, and football or marching band looks better to prestigious colleges than McDonalds (non adult directed activities aren't counted at all)
I didn't get my first job until after I dropped out of college
(non adult directed activities aren't counted at all)
I guess this closes certain avenues of BSing the system but also, wow that feels crazy arbitrary and unfair. Damn, it makes a lot of sense that this would be some kinda unspoken rule of what counts.
Not to be too conspiracy-brain but it really fits that notion that modern schooling exists solely to subsidize corporate recruitment.
"We made our own film/robots/fundraiser/business!" ๐๐
"I did several months' worth of free labor for a wealthy multinational conglomerate!" ๐ ๐๐
It's wild to me that kids these days expect their parents to pay for their college. I worked for like 8 years saving money before I could go to school.
Now I'm not even using my degree and barely making enough money to exist.
College is way too expensive to pay for yourself
that math don't add
This is going to be so great for the Rich People's Pedo Island Money.
Space X/X AI/Twitter (soon to include Tesla in a giant Xterfuck) will soar to all new market caps.
who gives a shit about your stupid debt. if you have debt ask your billionaire friends to spot you.
How about we institute a wealth tax, uncap social security taxes, halve the defense budget, and roll out medicare for all instead.
universal health care would accomplish the same thing
more worker more healthy better economy
You found the only liberal argument for healthcare.
Honestly, those are important arguments and people would be wise to make them.
Outside this bubble that kind of talk is very accepted and desired. Convincing people it's better for the economy, starting a business doesn't risk losing healthcare, businesses now don't need to waste time and money picking health insurance plans, etc. Are all valid arguments and would only help achieve the end goal of universal healthcare.
Well, the same applies to social services (welfare) and education, and the rich and powerful already know all this. So why do you think they don't want us comfortable, educated, healthy, and secure?
A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
