That’s a .... Lada horsepower.

I know a lot that can afford a $200-$300 lease payment though. Not all 18-24 year old’s are struggling with a retail job and mountains of college debt like everyone likes to think they are.  The ones that are in that situation did a lot of things wrong.

There’s a whole world of people outside of your personal experience. 

That is not an answer to the question: why is this, or any, of the random ancient articles showing up on everyone’s homepages?

Dear Kotaku, why is this random article from 2008 on my kotaku homepage.

Yes, I used to have social anxiety. I am a voiceover actor and was about 10 minutes late for sessions for YEARS because I’d need that time to have a panic attack in my car. Then I realized I was less nervous if I got there early. Or like, you, I would need to go back to the house to check the stove or the iron. or to…

When you KNOW what your issues are and why you’re running late yet you don’t take major steps to adjust for your own shortcomings and you continue to run late you are in fact saying that you’re time is more important.

I think you’re on the wrong site here

Yes, I am the exception when it comes to finances it seems along with a handful of other in this thread who understand opportunity cost. I will not say I am an above average driver, but for damn sure I am well above average in money management. This is definitely not the norm unfortunately for most people. Schools…

LMAO that you think you know me. I track basically every dollar I spend so no, I do not spend more because I use a credit card. Why on earth would something as simple as having credit on the front of the card make me magically spend more than if the card said debit on the front? It is coming out of my bank account…

I had the stolen debit card thing happen to me about 20 years ago. THAT got my attention.

That and the fact that gauge clusters are lit even during the day now on almost all cars. It used to be when you couldn’t see your gauges you HAD to turn on your lights, not anymore.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Anyone who isn’t in the EU is a peasant? Also, you commented on a Virginia(which is in America if you didn’t know) law discussion so I think you very confused.

That’s exactly what I said. The merchant pays the 2-3% and passes the expense on to you. So if you are not getting reward points, you are just paying an extra 2-3% and getting nothing in return. Sucks you have to play the game like this but that is the cost of convenience to use a card. If every business gave a…

THIS! I will add to that a debit card can actually hurt you very badly if someone steals your info. CCs have protections where you get the charges wiped off immediately, but if your debit card is stolen, you are on the hook and lose all that money until the bank can figure out what happened. Even then you may still be…

No, I don’t like Ramsey because he thinks credit cards are the devil, and taking out loans on cars and houses are basically like chopping your moms left arm off. These things are not evil, they are tools that need to be used responsibly, but tools none the less. I bet Ramsey would tell you to dig a hole with your…

Nope, I treat them just like my debit card. I am not just whipping them out because I have them. I don’t understand how people think like that, a dollar on my CC is still a dollar coming out of my bank at the end of the month and to think otherwise is just stupid. They are a financial tool I use just like cash but…

Maybe YOU would spend more using a credit card, but I treat it just like my debit card. I am not just whipping them out because I have them. I don’t understand how people think like that, a dollar on my CC is still a dollar coming out of my bank at the end of the month and to think otherwise is just stupid. They are a…

The house wins on all the idiots who run balances at 20%+ every month. Compared to that, the relative pittance they pay out is nothing. They also get 2-3% from the merchant on every transaction - that alone mostly pays for the rewards.
