The Unofficial Hijack Thread

Well, most people, if they move, tend to "move up" and, unless they have the necessary liquid funds for the difference between the sold price (less taxes, fees, and broker commision) of the old house and the buying price of the new house, you will need a loan. Generally speaking, the better your credit score, the better the loan (lower interest rates) you will get.

If you are willing to run completely off the credit grid your entire life, then you have no need for a good credit score.


Definitely! As I said, use your credit, don't abuse it. Put another way; "live with credit but not on credit".

I paid my credit cards on time for years kept the balances down to less than $4k, and still only had a 600 credit score, bought a car and still same credit score...so I am quitting the game and paying everything off in full...except for my mortgage...Cash is KING!

It’s their system and their rules! Why do I have to use credit to have good credit? As I stated above they give perks to use their product, but someone is paying for it. Although you’re not paying where you’re using it is. My wife is all about her credit score and is 835+ and hasn’t had an job in over two years( file jointly). I prefer cash, I don’t care about their damn system. If I can send you a money order or pay a local guy cash I do. And I don’t want a receipt and hope they pocket it.

nothing wrong with that, it is still living responsibly.

You get to control that with every municipal election. You just need to live with fewer services. Like street lights or paved roads. Arenas, swimming pools. Fire, ambulance, hospitals, libraries. My property taxes pay for services I want.

And plenty of services you either don't want or may not even know about....... I am one of those services, I have been a firefighter for 26+ years, but my taxes also go to feed kids whose parents are too lazy to work,...... I will stop there before I say something that "offends" some snowflake, millennial, leftist, etc...........

We are all paying to feed the not so lucky and have been for years. Used to piss me off now I just accept it. The ppl who work the hardest and make the most get F’d the most and it’s simply not right. Worked my ass off to get to where I am in life, and it’s expected of me to feed other ppls families too. If you choose to go to college and end up making an upper level income you shouldn’t be penalized for it, and that’s the way the world is anymore. Taxes this year were a joke.

@Squatch, where is that thread you made that was nothing but random derailing. You made it with that specific purpose in mind.

I'm going to move the last two pages of posts here to that thread haha, this one has clearly strayed far away from ugly JKUs.

Oh man, gotta love clickbait.

Actually, Jalopnik may be the king of clickbait. Either them or Yahoo "News".

Their article headlines are absolutely clickbait in every way. Most of them at least.
