I am going to blow up every fucking bank in North America. - Page 3

NAD is still special. · September 8th, 2007, 01:30 AM

Earlier this year I was nearly $11,000 in debt, a divine number that I built over a period of 7 years. I don't think more than about $2,000 of that was in interest though, I was always flipping it back and forth between whoever offered the 5% interest rate teaser bullshit. I always had more money invested than I did have owed to banks, so I was lazy in formulating a plan to pay it off until earlier this year when I finally grew tired of it, and since I fell into a situation of being rent-free for a spell, I had no excuses left.

Today? Zero, zilch, nada, adios muchacho, fucking gone. Paid the last of it off this afternoon.

I hope I never do that again. *knocks on wood*

Congrats. Debt can be a serious mental drain.

Considering the US trade deficit is in the trillions of dollars, aren't we all in debt anyway? I mean, someone's gotta pay that shit off.

Recklessly spending money and not bothering to pay it off the same month ends up being a kick to the balls when the cards eventually get maxed out, and you're left staring at the bill, wondering what the hell you have to show for it. FAWK.

One year later, finally paid these fucking things off!!!

I also learned that starting up a portfolio is fucking futile without a couple g's of capital to play with. Most respectable mutual funds ask for an initial 5k-10k investment. So I pulled out before I even begun ram-rodding my portfolio to Trump esque proportions. Marla Maples, you're going to have to wait.

Bah humbug.
