my total was $2500 across all of my shit. kill me

I have one that's at over 6k because it has 0 interest until I think April and we've been really bad about abusing that fact. Should still be able to pay it off in time or at the very least transfer anything that's leftover on it to my "emergency" card which seems to send me an offer every month for 0 interest balance transfer for 12 months. Still stresses me out to see that high balance and it makes my credit score sad.

Kidney used it when he got lasik so yeah that's like half of it lol. And just being too lax about the whole "introductory 0% interest" thing. That card had some good 5% cash back categories earlier this year so we were using it like all the time but not really worrying about paying it off right away. Now that kidney is working and we're trying to get better about controlling our spending it should be no problem to get it paid off before it starts getting interest

well that would explain it. doesn't not paying anything hurt your credit score though?

I always pay at least the minimum, of course. Usually way more than the minimum if I can afford to but these past few months after we moved and it was just me working for a couple months I could only do the absolute minimum because I had to put more towards my card that does have interest so I could make sure to pay it off.

It does affect my credit because the balance is so high that my percentage of credit used is way higher than it should be. Still have a score over 700 though and was able to get a good rate when I got my car a few months back.

yikes that sounds rough but it's good that it's still manageable. thankfully i've never had to carry a balance on a regular credit card. i have on cards that i got specifically to finance something and then closed right after but i haven't bought something that big in years

What? $300 gets me food and beer and everything for the month, we're in the same region costs are roughly the same.

I'm counting weed toward utilities 

Dude it is not the same. If we're including internet, which I will because I don't smoke, are at least about $150 of that. Unless you're splitting utilities or living in a one bedroom apartment getting one of them for free. Even in my old apartment, shit was maybe $100. Unless you're eating lentils every night, food is going to be more than $150 a month.

Hes trying to trigger you. Did you see his full body shot of his little boy body? Hes skin and bones. He definitely doesn't eat everyday and when he does eat its probably not very well at all.
