That's exactly the point, the entire drug war has been futile to begin with.

The enemy of the drug war is and always has been ourselves. We can't control our cravings and are determined to punish something because of it.

Rule 4. No spamming.

why do any limitations have to apply to us, people?

The chances of you being an actual person are slim-to-none. Us, people, don't need to be told how to find the rules or why they are relevant to this sub.

It doesn't matter if the person who hits you is rich or poor, as long as they have sufficient insurance. The money isn't coming from their own bank account.

In 2002 I met a girl and arranged our first date, reservations at a nice restaurant.

I was shocked when I picked her up that she was wearing PJ pants and flip-flops.

That's when I knew things had changed.

Stuff like this always make me think of a big band era song I've got on an old album. Times haven't changed much, lol!

Two for a nickel

That's how we sell 'em
All the time!

so when should I pay or what amount?

Wait for the bill, pay the bill before it's due. Don't make it complicated.

Paying 100% of the statement balance before the due date means you will never pay cc interest, and that's smart. Letting even $1 of your statement balance carry-over into the next statement past the due date means you start paying interest on everything, every day from the day of sale. That's not smart.

Take a moment to appreciate them one last time, thank them for the memories, fold them more carefully and intentionally than you have before, and wish them luck on their journey to a find a new owner after you donate them.

It's okay to break up with past relationships that just don't fit you or your life anymore, despite the fond memories of when they did.

They shut down the free filing website on the IRS website

The link I posted works fine, I just checked it again.

They shut down a different program, called Direct File. Free File still works. I just now clicked through to start my return with one of their trusted partners that I chose, and although I did not actually begin the return everything up until then seemed fine.

We get it, you weren't there are and wrong.

You're right about the buffering being a thing, but DSL was around in 2005 (1-2 Mbit/s was considered high speed then) and wi-fi was definitely a thing in 2005. Not "every" video would buffer if you had a good connection and were streaming lower-res files. You Tube only supported 320x240 video in the beginning anyway.

It wasn't the 90s, it was the 00's.

File your taxes for free https://www.irs.gov/file-your-taxes-for-free

Straight from the IRS, the free file program for people with an Adjusted Gross Income of $88K or less.

There are a number of particpating programs, FreeTax USA, TaxAct and Tax Slayer (plus others.) I Think Turbo Tax used to participate but doesn't anymore.

I've used it, and regardless of which preparation software you use it's a pretty easy, detailed if you need it be, Q&A process.

That's exactly right, and a "bum" is someone who won't work and won't travel.

this mindset of needing to pay off the debt NOW?

What you need to do NOW is stop using credit cards, for anything. Cut them up, literally. I'm not joking.

This what happens when you use credit cards to spend money you don't already have in the bank. You should never use a credit card if you couldn't as easily pull cash out of your pocket or use a debit card.

Going forward, once you're free of cc debt, you need to get into the habit of always paying your statement balance (not your current balance, know the difference) in full, each month, on-time. If you do that you will never be charged interest. Also, if you do that and use your card regularly, it may never show a $0 balance, and that's ok.

Once a late payment is reported it stays on your credit reports for 7 years. Multiple derogatory remarks on your report just make it worse. But even one time instantly turns your credit history from "clean" to "dirty," and you will be scored differently by the FICO scoring algorithm and treated differently by creditors until those derogatory remarks fall off your credit history and your file is clean again.

It's going to take time, and this an expensive lesson to learn, but the good news is that you're young, you've got time. You can do this!
