I'm at a 758 right now. Credit makes no sense on how often it changes.
I paid off a personal loan and my shit dropped 10 points.

I hear what her mouth say but what her mouth do?I was talking to a co-worker last week, and she was telling me about her struggles. First of all, her oldest hates his dad, but his dad won't let him leave, because Florida law allows him to get child support. So, she's getting killed with that. Then she told me about having all of these subscriptions like HBO+, Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc. I told her she need to get rid of them, but she doesn't want to let them go. She works 2 jobs, and she just got a new car with payments of $987+/mo for 60 months. This is fucking insane!!! I gave her a, and she asked me how much my note was, and I told her I didn't have one. My shit's paid off. Then she asked me how what was paying before the payoff, and I told her $427/mo for 24 months, and she hit me with a
. Then she said, "My credit score is around 500 or so, but I don't feed into to that construct.". I told her whether she feeds into it or not, it's killing her pockets and making her pay over $987 for a base level Traverse for 60 months. Today, she got fired from our company. She missed a lot of days. Now, she's in a fucked up position. She's too old to be in the predicament, and I'm guessing so are we. Guys, I know we make the "BGOL balling jokes", a lot of us are not balling, I know I ain't, but don't be in this position! She's in her early 40s, and this is not a good look!

I was wrong. I just checked mine on AMEX & Capitol One. It's 768 now. This is bullshit.I'm at a 758 right now. Credit makes no sense on how often it changes.

We all can get better at financial literacy.
There's a lot of lessons other people learn as toddlers that we have to learn by trial and error.
And other parents set things up in their kids name or have them learning the family business at an early age.
The head start they get is unbelievable
I hate to sound like his coworker, but that credit shit ain’t real.I'm at a 758 right now. Credit makes no sense on how often it changes.

safety net? When you see white men on every corner with a sign asking for help, you know something is afoot.Sometimes life just comes at you fast with no time to prepare. Unfortunately our safety net in America is shit.
I hate to sound like his coworker, but that credit shit ain’t real.
When I was younger, I invested in a shared secured loan and credit card for a substantial amount. And just like that I had “gewd crehdit”.
She pays $1000 monthly for a car that isn’t a Rolls Royce? Her note is twice her credit score?
I would wish her the best. I’ll definitely put my credit on lock just by hanging around her.

I think they’re doing 8 year loans now.Unfortunately cars aren't as cheap as they used to be.
Paying off a 40k loan with no interest in 4 years is $833 a month. Now imagine the cost with factoring in financing and credit score.
I think they’re doing 8 year loans now.
It’s why cash is king.Of course you did, because you fronted the money first!![]()
Do you think she’s going to pay that money for the entirety of the loan? She’s not going to last 13 months. That car will be repossessed and I’m going to presume Uncle Chuck is going to help her out with the down payment for a new vehicle.Yes you're right, they can do 8 or r 10 depending on your car, but...
The woman that this thread's about has a 5 year loan paying $987 a month. For 60 months. That's 60k over the life of the loan.
In other words, the 40k or so that the car that she bought costs without interest is $667 a month to pay off 40k over 60 months.
So in short, she's paying an extra $300 a month in finance charges because of her credit. So to her credit is

You could be fucking a bitch down on her luck for Netflix and 8 piece nuggets from Chik-Fil-A (12 count is outta the question) and you're on BGOL whining about the chick's life.![]()
Have you ever the luxury of given financial advice from people that are usually in financial binds?Common sense isn't very common with a lot of folks today. Some people just don't know how to manage their money (and their lives). Good decision making is the key to living well. Life is about the decisions you make. Some people are just pretty good at making bad decisions.
Do you think she’s going to pay that money for the entirety of the loan? She’s not going to last 13 months. That car will be repossessed and I’m going to presume Uncle Chuck is going to help her out with the down payment for a new vehicle.
Do you know how many homeless women we are going to see in the next 20-30 years.Got a coworker like her except she is 54 and still fine as hell. When she first got hired I was on it. Then I learned about her finances and then quickly went into the friend zone. She's good peeps but she is not good with money.
Ain’t that shit sad?Hell naw she's not paying it off!![]()
Some folks really forget what this country was built on and how it operates.Fools out there getting 10 year car loans now![]()
