When I was 21 I screwed up and ran up a credit card to ~3k then lost my job and never payed. (It's settled now) but now I have no credit card's or any debt at all. I went and looked at a used Land Cruiser the other day asking 12k I offered to put down 5k and the best rate they could give me was 17% I was offended... I refuse to pay that kind of rate. So it costs 320 a month to take a taxi to work every day and you can ride a bike when its nice out. Thats why I hate these people. From my POV they just dry hole you till you bleed.
