And a surround sound system. He doesn't have a job 'till February. I think he has a problem.

Thats why I fear Credit Cards. Don't want to spend beyond my means.

Thats a crazy amount of money to just throw down on credit

Tell your friend he is a moron.

Oh, trust me, I have told him that I can't wait until he's in JAIL.

I did that when the Japanese DC came out. No job, no money but I maxed out my CC to get a system at launch with all the games.

I look back on it now, Godzilla and PenPen probably were not worth it...

...but VF3tb was

I wish I had a Credit Card.

Well, as long as he can meet the minimum payments until Feb...

Nah credit cards rule.

Dude, he could have paid my bills for MONTHS.

Debit cards FTW!

Even though I barely have any money, I'd rather be in this situation than be in a situation where I was in debt. I remember someone here saying bad credit is better than no credit in the long run, and that makes sense...but until I get a good job I'm not going to consider getting a credit card. I can soooo see myself doing something stupid with it, like buying a 360 and a new monitor for my computer. Ugh

He should get a couple cards to pay those off.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #13 on:** December 09, 2006, 01:12:05 PM »

I have one credit card and even thats too much. While I have to wait longer to get things, student loans put em in enough debt.

I'm so glad I avoided that problem; my college education was paid for on my first birthday by my uncle. And then of course in "highschool" I was also in a middle college that was free; WTMC. Akia also was in it

I only have one credit card and I use it for gas, fegit.

It's nice to know that I'm Willco's only friend though

Also, I would never buy a fucking PS3 until that simply amazing FFvXIII comes out!

Also, cocks.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #17 on:** December 09, 2006, 06:23:47 PM »

I saw a PS3 at Gamestop for the first time. I wanted to drop a deuce after seeing it, a deuce made up of $50 Bills

I don't dabble in credit cards. I had one when I was 18. I bought some DVD's, paid that shit off and then cut it up. Then I did the same thing when I switched banks. That's always been pretty good on my credit.

I don't trust myself with credit cards. I'm too much of a compulsive buyer. If I don't have the cash for it, I have no business buying it.

Yes, well said, although it IS good to have one for emergencies. You never know when you might need it, especially when you're travelling.

I only have an AMEX card...I use it every month, mainly for buying stuff online, but I never go overboard with it, especially since you HAVE to pay it off entirely every month. It's not like other cards that have minimum payment options.

During college, I got into some debt twice...not even that much...I think the highest I ever owed was somewhere under $2,000, but still, that's a lot for a college student with a crappy part-time job. Luckily I got EVERYTHING settled and paid off after I graduated and went to Japan. I don't really have much money saved up, but I'm also completely debt-free, and that feels good.

Willco, your friend is clearly going to learn the hard way. But hey, I guess if worst comes to worst, he can always take all the crap he bought and sell it all off to make money to pay towards his debts.
