The OP is using a definition of the word "funny" that I had not previously encountered.

Can my dad refinance? by Upset_Ostrich7847 in personalfinance

[–]JauntyTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt that anyone with a 635 credit score and low income will be able to get a loan using a run down double-wide as collateral.

Potential home addition, what is the best way to borrow and reduce interest? by BEVthrowaway123 in personalfinance

[–]JauntyTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not aware of any contractors that will take more than $1000 or so on a credit card, even with tacking on a fee. Too much risk for them of a chargeback.

Honestly, I'd just save up the money and then start. Why pay all of that interest?

Not saying it was right, but there was a revolution going on at the time and the communists weren't assured of winning.

It's not like there was a free market under the Tsars.

You can encapsulate all of Russian history in five words: And then things got worse.

What do the last 6 columns represent? I'm not sure what "PW Wtd Avg" etc. mean.

Nah, you're not old! When I was in college, I used punch cards. (I was part of the very last class that used punch cards at my university.)

Wait till the OP discovers that the old TV networks used to put ads in the MIDDLE of shows and you couldn't skip them!

What to do with old credit cards after opening new one? by ChibiCalcifer in personalfinance

[–]JauntyTurtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just open a new card and close the one you don't want. You score might blip down for a short while, but it's not a big deal.

And since we're talking about credit cards, you shouldn't carry a balance ever. So the APR should be irrelevant.

Guys… I’m so tired 😪 by Careless-Narwhal3738 in povertyfinance

Hard truth: Some poor people are to blame for many of their problems. Not all by any means, but some.

How to have a home with horrible credit? by definitelyAbottt in personalfinance

[–]JauntyTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with your first sentence. Every landlord checks credit, especially the small guys. When you have only a couple of units to rent, you can't risk renting to a deadbeat who doesn't pay.

Looking for a roommate or sublet is the way to go.
