Down the slippery slope
So, things are moving right along. NOT!
The damn lawyers are taking forever. I MAY get my paperwork to finish up the settlement on the 16th. Hopefully so, because I'd like to use some of that money to do little things like pay off my car before more intrest rolls over onto it. Sheesh!
In other news, I made, what could turn out to be the stupidest decision of my life just now.
I've been getting applications for credit cards since I made my first payment on the car two months ago. Can I tell you how truely annoying it is to get one every three days? Because, it is. And each time, I knew that I shouldn't fill it out and send it back. Now, I will admit I've filled out about three of them, but I think that was some demented form of therapy because I have yet to send out a single one.
However, today, I got one that said that I could process my appllication online in under 60 seconds. I kind of chuckled to myself (and the dog) thinking it would be funny to get a "what the hell, are you serious!?" rejection in under 60 seconds. So, like the lemming I am, I went down to the computer and filled out the application and waited the 60 seconds for them to tell me to bugger off.
Much to my surprise, I was approved. And it'll be in my hand in 7 to 10 days.
The last time I had a credit card was.. well, long before anyone who knows me now knew me. It was a very very large mistake and it came in the mail in the one month that I was unemployed back when I was 18. Oh, yes, they gave a child a credit card. I'm convinced that credit companies are out to ruin your life right off the bat by doing this. Parents, when you're kids get older DO NOT let them fill out a credit card application. It's just going to be bad for everyone involved. It took me about two years to get it paid off and even then I had to borrow the money from my grandma.
So, we'll see how well I fare on this one (if I get it) and go from there.
On the plus side, I guess that means I can buy my own plane ticket now...
