Debt?

[Pdizog]

This goes out to all the college students.
How much is your credit card debt? I know a guy who is ten thousand dollars in the hole...not including student loans. I'm in debt about six thousand. Credit Cards are EVIL!

[Sjarred]

You guys totally topped me, I'm only downed about $800....guess that's because I freaken cheap...

[hapoo]

[AmRivlin]

Hapoo do not get a credit card. It will just bring u more pain in a harsh life.

Just stick with the check cards. You can't spend what you don't have.

[c64user]

Or you can get nice low limits.

I was fine until the credit card companies decided that an unemployed student should qualify for a $5000 credit line.

[sbp]

I must have hapoo's soul. I will not be denied! {offers multiple credit cards to hapoo)

BWAHAAHAAHAA. {evil laugh) hapoo is mine now! Best of all I have all his posts now.

Is there a law against continuously paying off one credit card with another one and vice versa? I mean...theoretically, couldn't you buy a whole bunch of stuff and never actually pay for it because you could just keep switching the debt from one card to the other?

okay, so sbp, rev evil, Apex, and I form the core evil group of theis board? Who else wants to join the Got Apex Darkside? I'll give you special discount membership rates if you apply soon.

Tsk Tsk. Guys, first rule of making money is not going into credit card debt. Why pay them 6-15% when a loan is only 5-9% from school! Of course that's assuming you can get a loan.


I'm about $67K in debt via loans for the first 2 years of med school. But I always pay of my CC monthly and hance have been building up credit for 6 years now (18-24). One of my CC has a limit of 30k, thought I rarely put more than $500 a month on it. I wish I could have paid tuition from it as it takes 2% off my next car

Make the CCs work for YOU!

Ço£o§§ü§ - yeah you can read into it...

[tongyang]

Hmmm... maybe I was the weird one I never had any credit card debt

Even when I was in college I always paid my CC bills in whole.

[Speedfreak]

Anybody need a new creditcard?

Your interest would accrue like none other , unless you got 0% financing for balance transfers.

[Mike_N_Ike]

Hmmm, yeah I guess that would kill the point wouldn't it..

What if you could find a place that would let you charge money orders at a relatively cheap price...Okok, I'll let this one go

[revil]

I have no debts what-so-ever. but the person who had my dorm before me did. the first week of school this guy from the persons credit card number called and kept asking for "sara" (that is what I shall call her) The guy wouldn't believe that sara didn't live there and kept calling and pissing me off. So I finally "admitted" that sara lived there and got some information out of him (like her credit card number, full name, and some other important stuff). than I asked to talk to his supervisor, told him what the guy kept doing, and then told him all the information he gave me. I never got a call from them again. I hope that jerk got fired.

[StarvingCollegeStudent]

Heheh my limit's at $10k but I don't owe anything. I think I got about $2k in student loans, but i'll worry about that later

[Sjarred]

To Reverend Evil, in response to your last post.......you are Evil...hehe.

[hapoo]

lol hehehehehe

[pennypinch]

Yeah, I'm kind of in a spot too. I figure about 2K, but my signing bonus should cover it in a month, so I'm OK-ish. Lucky I just graduated, or I'd be cashless for two weeks. Eek! I have to say, although Apex has saved me a bundle of the stuff I DO buy, it's the quantity of stuff I buy that killed me early on. Tons of $3-10 stuff that I REALLY don't need, yet I bought it because it was 80% off. Today, I look at it as an investment, stuff I'll use eventually, and an education, not to buy sh!t I don't need! Never going to pay financing charges again.
