    Don’t live outside your means. Eventually, one has to be accountable over their own finances.

      I don’t. There’s not many more shady industries than the credit card industry. You have to sign up on a website to NOT get offers.

      Every store you go to tries to sell you one these days.

      Comically high interest rates.

      It’s not something I want to even dignify, because frankly it’s insulting.

        All of those are things that normal, educated, and well-adjusted people can account for and avoid when it goes against their self-interest. If you’re dumb enough to sign up for a J. Crew credit card because the guy at the counter said you’d get 10% off, you deserve to get taxed
