The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 07, 2013

Debt, it’s the American way!

Better shred it good !!!

aint it the truth!

They just want your interest.

I get credit card solicitations where my name isn’t even spelled correctly.

We keep getting those too. Our credit score must be okay. Back in 2006, just for the hell of it, I went to the website of one of those offers. I was shocked when I was accepted. Good thing too. Because a month after that, my dad passed away and we had to drive 1500 miles for the funeral. I don’t fly. So now we just use the card in emergencies. Haven’t had one yet, thank goodness.

My dad worked those credit card offers into interest-free loans. When one’s 0% interest was about to run out, he would transfer the balance to a new offer, and so on.

born to spend

I received one a while back with a $100,000 limit. I checked and found that I qualified to use it for the full amount. I was thinking of buying a huge boat, emptying all of my bank accounts, and then sailing to a tropical country with no extradition treaty with the US. Should I have done it?

They don’t want to do business with you. They want to own you.

Just the opposite with me. I have no money, but U get two or three people telling me they’re sending me several million dollars, every day.

U= I

U= I
