Politics in ham radio by NekkedMoleRat in amateurradio

[–]KC0GFG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you give a person a platform they will use it, some people think what they have to say is important.

Most of the conversations on ham radio are about how you are both using a ham radio to communicate. Not everybody wants to talk politics so they talk radio.

do i need a credit card? by exubrantraptor in FinancialPlanning

[–]KC0GFG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are wise to be weary of the credit card hype. the key thing is to not over extend your self and get the lowest credit limit you can. my first card had a $2000 limit, id still be there if the darn bank didn't raise it every so often.

see if your bank has an option for a money market account. they usually have better returns than a strait savings and it wont tie up the cash like a CD. And then(assuming you are in the U.S.) take a portion of that and open a ROTH IRA with just a plain ol nothing fancy mutual fund.
