Internal monologue of driver in crowded parking lot in St. Louis on a Saturday afternoon:

"Ain't no one in mah payth so's I can see, I can go as fayst as I waunt of 30 e'en 35 AIN'T NO ONE IN MAH PAYTH WOOHOO!!!"

St. Louisians are taught to think in lisps?

St. Louisians are taught to think in lisps?

I have a suspicion that the people I'm referring to aren't actually St. Louisans, but rather visitors from the more rural regions to the south and west. They do not speak like St. Louisans. (Also, payth = path.)

This happens to me daily.

That's commitment.

I hate street fairs.

They are somehow the exact encouragement require for the dregs of society to come out and roam around in the town where I live.

I think I'm going to sell stock to pay off the credit card debt that has been hanging over me for several years. I'd love to keep the stock but as it stands, I have a negative savings rate to the tune of $5K thanks to the CC debt (I spent like a drunken sailor in college).

The whole ordeal is a maddening reminder of how stupid I was with money.

Do it, you'll feel better. Just this month all four of my accounts read positive for the first time since university. That **** feels good man!

Yeah, I think paying it off it will be a serious psychological boost.

What rate are you paying vs your expected return this year on the investment?

And paying off CC debt is a sure thing vs. the stock market. Do it and never run up those cards again.

This, definitely this.

Almost certainly more than he's like to make in the markets...

Exactly. Do it.

stupid allergies kept me indoors for part of todays family outdoor activities. sucks.

Likely, yes.

Shifting the debt to a 0 interest intro rate card is also an option. I get at least one in the mail a week.

I'm not necessarily advising this, but he'd kick himself if he missed a great quarter and the stock jumped 10% in a day. I carry a small debt on a 0 interest intro just because there is no point paying it off when I can work the $ instead. I've got about another 6 months left of 0%.

At Conne's age, I do tend to agree, being free of dept when you don't have a lot of income is usually the right move.
