I like to keep my life simple. I get a couple grand a year back from credit cards but I put 20x or more that amount in my 401k every year. Lately I've been holding too much cash. Guys like @Snake and @XCR1250 played the game and won. Credit cards and financing isnt something they need to bother with. We planned a vacation in Florida in January, used a card to pay for it for the simple reason it is needed. Payed for the entire trip on the next bill. That is what planning for retirement is all about..... free living with minimal worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what you're supposed to do so there's no interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how things were during your life in 1975-1980, but we were moving due to the recession and I saw what it was like to have no money. That alone will set you on a path that ensures financial success, if you are willing to learn from it. I saw what paying 24% for a truck payment did. I saw what it was like trying to start a business in that environment. Furthest thing in the world from a silver spooner.... learned from hard times. You make an awful lot of assumptions that you pull from your ass.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted November 22, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 22, 2022 Bottom line is when Credit Cards are used resposibly, they have their benefits ...it is kinda nice to have 30 days to pay for some things. I love all the offers I get from building up very good credit. I don't abuse or take advantage of a llot of these offers but did take a short term low APR lloan from 2 of my cards to buy a camp in NY which I flipped and made a quick 45k.....those loans have been paid in full....ahead of time.

I would be willing to bet 80% plus of the membership here could pay cash for a sled.... and 50% could buy the truck. What is the big fucking deal??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you bragged about paying for your sled in cash, you called the other guys machine junk as well. I ride the same machine as @Snake. Does that mean his is junk as well?
