[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 1662164, member: 36248"][B]Detecto[/B], I'm not trying to be rude here, I actually enjoy your posts, but I have a few questions: Do you have a job yet? If not, why are you spending money on coins when you have no income? Since it sounds like you have mandatory expenses (bills) that are known in advance, and probably once-and-awhile mandatory expenses that are unplanned (e.g. car repair), why do you insist on spending money on [U]discretionary[/U] expenses (coins) first? Paying that ridiculous APR every few months, or selling off you entire collection every few months, seems like a never ending death spiral for you. Would it not be better to set aside every penny you find on the ground, beg from family, and discover at the end of a double rainbow until you have the full amount saved up necessary for your fixed monthly mandatory expenses? Then add maybe 10% on top of that to be safe, and pay all bills on time? After [U]ALL[/U] bills are paid, anything left over is fair game to waste/spend on movie tickets, eating out, buying coins, etc. If you don't have a job, or your expenses > your income, then your spending on coins should be exactly ZERO ($0.00). There are a lot of people here who have tried to help you, teach you, and maybe you could learn from that advice. Everyone makes financial mistakes, but this topic of your spending money you don't have at the beginning of the month, only to have to scramble at the end of the month seems to be a perennial theme of yours. Stop the madness![/QUOTE]
