This hasn't stopped anyone else from buying houses, yachts, etc. For the past few months I've been consistently at -10K on my cc and feel quite lucky it isn't -500K like some of my friends.

I hear ya...

I'm not in negative territory at least, but it would be nice if my boss could pay me on time one time! Swear to God I'm going to liquidate our entire office this Friday.

Pro-labor Democrats make the worst hypocrites... and my boss tops that list.

Haha my visa is maxed out so I'm also putting off the houses and yachts for a while.

I'm toying with the idea of getting a part time job so I can keep up the irresponsible spending...

I did contract work for one of those pro-labor Dems. All his full-time labor worked under the table in a kind of hi-tech sweatshop in a back room. The staff was constantly changing and always from Vietnam. Even better, his wife was a tax auditor, also from Asia.

While I'm an extravagant spender, I try to never incur a credit card debt.

yeah I was around even before a few months ago where I had to spend 10K at once. Been hacking away at it though.

Look at it as a good opportunity to build credit.

"I may be broke, but I'm never poor" Michael Wilding. I used to spend all the money I made but over the years, I've learned to save. I'm not a billionaire but it's always good to know I have a 'nest' saved up.

Start selling off assets! Dont feel bad I just use my card and dont count what it adds up to then await for a big surprise at the end of the month. You can always open up twenty creditcards and use one to pay for the other max them all out and then file bankrupt!

"Live within your means" is a concept that people can't seem to grasp these days.

Do you guys know how insane all of this is? Carrying 10-500k in credit card debt? I hope my sarcasm detector's broken and you guys are just joking
