Something Has Got To Go
 

Man I just can't afford the Mcmansion in the Burbs, the SUV and MB in the driveway, Classic Porsche in the garage, the Big Screen TV, the Cleaning Lady, the Gardner, putting the Kids through a prestige 4 year College, let alone all the little sundries like going out to eat, and belonging to the gym and country club anymore..It is just too much ever since they cut my hours and salary back...let alone face unemployment as the company I work for is on the verge of gong BK.

I just can't keep using the Credit Card to get by as it is about maxed out.. What am I gona do?

Hey I know, buy the FAANG's* on margin...that ought to make me rich!


* Facebook (F), Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX), Alphabet (GOOG). Apple (AAPL)

Clearly you’re not fully embracing the American Dream, pooh on being debt free......

Man it's killin me...I got a SO that wants to live well and have nice things, can't let down the Kids and MA needs help from time to time as her SS just doesn't cut it..

Thank Gawd that this years vacation to Europe was put on hold...

Man I am just makin minimum payments on the Cards now...

Maybe it's the SO that has to go...:D

tabby I'm disappointed..
you always shop for the best deal..
so..
choosing a SO with more $$ or income than you...
should have been the starting point..

Rika

Just go with the Martingale System....

Well ya got a point there..I could be spendin more time with the GF if the SO is gone...

I can sense the sarcasm. Regardless, two books that had an effect on my life: The Millionaire Next Door, and The Credit Card Catastrophe.

The person the the original post (which I doubt is you)....well, that's how it goes! Live within your means and use credit to expand your means (not your life).

Tabs, how did you make your money? What profession?

The name of the LA Chargers must be changed as it denigrates those with credit card woes.

Motivational speaking I would guess
Tony

The Clippers? .... they cut up those cards!

Tabs used to sell optimism in his former life, and he was great... then he retired :D

Bigtoe, Lol

Would you have an extra pair or two of shoes to sell?

:D

My money is on;
An Accountant. Maybe a CPA....maybe

his Mom..
aka Mother..
she made the right choices..
she married a proper gent..
he was employed..
the rest is in Pelican archives..

Rika

quit loading up on dead mens' loafers.

Didn't you ever see the "Twilight Zone" about wearing another man's shoes?

I had a job, but that didn't mean I worked...I belonged to a Union..

And it paid well...wt full Bennies...

Now I just live on a small Pension...

I do think those were brand new leather soled shoes the man wore.

They were a gift. :D

I always figured you were a fortune teller extrordinaire!

not the episode with the old peddler, there was another where a man put on a pair he found and took the personality/identity of that man (gangster). It didn't end well for him either.

things have been tough on tabs since the fez and monogrammed slipper market dried up.

if monocle polish falls out of favor, he is really going to be in trouble.

use a gardener instead

He's talking about Chauncey.

Ought to be a song in here somewhere. Something about life in the fast lane?

Well, I listened. I heeded TABS's warnings. Earlier in the year, before covid, I sold it all and bought a sailboat to see the world. You may have seen my story in USA today:

Just borrow money on the one card to pay off the other.......simple really.

I'm shocked- I thought he was just another pretty face at the strip club, working his way through grad school on a doctorate of eloquence

You are screwed.

When your global meltdown comes to pass that pension will be history since they are invested in bonds and stocks. With all your "wisdom" you will be just as broke as the rest of us...

Take out as many credit cars as possible, max them all out buying tech stocks, make a fortune, then default on the cards.
Heck they're unsecured loans anyway, who cares if your credit rating sux if yer rich? ;)

usual disclaimers apply.

I have 37. Currently working on #38. I have read that you are doing good when you max out the same number as your age...

^^^ where do you park all of them??

In the garag

I understan

Wha?

Sell the '72.

Either that or buy another one.

Most economists believe the United States will tip into recession by 2021, a new survey shows, despite White House insistence the economy is sound.

Nearly 3 out of 4 economists surveyed by the National Association for Business Economics expect a recession by 2021, according to poll results released Monday. The outlook reflects growing skepticism among economists and investors that the U.S. economy will be able to withstand a protracted trade war with China without serious harm amid a weakening global outlook.

Wash. Post - 19 August 2020
