  • I wish my friends would tell me about the little things. It actually helps me deal with things as well, since odds are its something we all struggle with one way or another and talking through it with them helps me sort it out too.

    Too bad we are all so worried about making things other people’s problems when we could tackle this stuff together






  • Thanks for your response, I’ve been keeping my eye out for a reasonably priced C64 or something so I can get into it on some real hardware (I’m sure there are emulators out there but that’s not as fun).

    I feel like learning it would help with understanding some of what happens “under the hood” in modern languages.






  • There are a couple benefits to a credit card as long as you are paying them off and not using them when you don’t actually have the money to pay them off.

    • It can improve your credit score which is important if you ever plan on buying a house, so you can get a loan.

    -There usually aren’t any fees for using the card like most debit cards have (at least where I live).

    • many credit cards offer a reward system which you can use to get free stuff, or sometimes just cash back. I have a dividends and get a percentage back on every purchase up to a maximum.

    So as long as you pay them off monthly, using a CC instead of debit can actually save you money and be a good thing. It’s when you can’t pay them off, and instead just meet the minimum payments that they become a problem since they have crazy interest rates.
