What the F@ck good is

[tobby4]

Eh, The unsecured credit card debt will hurt more and quicker than anything else... yea subprime sucked, but credit card debt is ridiculous...

the student loan issue, is one that I am not that educated on, but knowing what i do about it we are looking at 5-7 years if not double that before that really hits....



Personally, and just my opinion, get a damn job and pay for your own undergrad... I know that might sound bad, but I paid for 2 degrees and graduated in 4 years, and had an awesome time doing it... people just do not want to work sometime...

$600 is more than my rent, so I'm quite happy to take that check! We'll just see if it ever comes.

 

[Fidel]

I'd rather not have it so I won't have to pay it off later in my lifetime.

That`s OK. I`ll take your share!
I`m planning to use this $ to support one or more of my many vices. My unhealthy lifestyle is bound to kill me before it`s time to pay the piper:halfgrinw

Me too Clay. But I don't have a problem with people obtaining student loans, just people not paying them.

Concerning credit cards, I was taught not to spend money that I don't have, i.e., if you have a credit card, do not let the balance get any higher than what you have in your bank account. Very simple, and I owe no one.

I wish, that's a third of my rent, and I'm getting a steal of a deal on my place. Same model rents around the corner for $2400

Damn I'm glad I don't live in CA.

As for credit card and student loans...if you want to use these devices, great. It is your choice and you should be require to pay them back. Take some personal responsiblity, but I'm afraid (since this is an election year) that a certain party will try to purchase peoples vote. They already have promised more than we can afford and I won't be suprised if they try to purchase the younger vote by offering to get rid of student loans. Remember people vote based on the what is happening now, not what they expect to happen in the future. If this gets a new topic started I'll write more later, but as for now I'll leave it there.

[Jwrussell]

$300 going to do me? This stimulus package is bullshit.

Ummm...you DON'T pay taxes? If you do, it's $600, not $300. And if not, well, why are you complaining exactly?

 

[Jwrussell]

Its a conspiracy with the govt to get everyone to buy a playstation3 since the wii is outselling them.

Heheheheheheh. I'll teach them! I already HAVE a PS3. :halfgrinw

How in the hell can people live in CA? Does anybody ever own anything there or do they just remortgage all the time? My 4 bedroom colonial would go for $600,000 there.....

I doubt you will get anything since you are claimed as a dependent. I just got an email about this from my firm this evening, so I probably need to check it out.

 

[Jwrussell]

If you made >$3000 last year and are a tax payer, you should get $600. At least that's what Yahoo news is saying. If you parent's claimed you as a dependant, then they may get the $300 child rebate.

And less than $75K (single). After that it starts to phase out.

Not that it evens out, but keep in mind that people tend to make more in good ol' Cali.

:rifleaim: :rifleaim: :rifleaim:

Back to the subject...I'll believe it when I see it. But I won't complain about 600 bucks.

 

[Clinton]

I'll spend most of mine on cigars, booze, and hookers. Then I'll just waste the rest.

You do know it's 600 dollars and not 6,000 dollars, right??

:hysterica

 

[tobby4]

I did not mean my statement about student loans to be condescending of those that get them... just of those that do not pay them back...

and Call of Duty 4...

My name is Tobby4 and I will Kill you....about to start the third time through the rankings.....
