you can afford a part or you can't. Why would anyone go into debt for anything except neccessary repairs, I'll never know

Yeah, that credit card debt, I'm just drowning in it.

Those are 2 separate cards I have, 1 I've had for 7 years, the other for 1 month (the one I actually owe something on)

I actually took money out on the card in order to buy the Buick. And then I paid it off before any interest would be charged. It's not hard to keep track of your credit card and pay it off.

Well your the special case (Not special as in short bus special either). I understand what he was trying to say, because most people have good intentions when they put the item on their credit card, and they think "oh I can pay it off in two payments before any interest builds up and I wont have to drop all the money at once." Next thing they know their card is maxed out, because they keep telling themselves that, but they some how keep forgetting to put money back towards the card.

There is my credit lesson for today...If you can call it that. Ok now back to my search button.

Obviously you did not read the initial post, let me refresh your memory

Obviously he does not have the money right now to buy the parts, I have a sneaking suspicion he won't be ready to pay them off before interest is charged. Thanks for rolling the eyes, wish I could figure out where that came from. Perhaps you need to work on your reading comprehension
