Unpaid advertisement: I like Discover card for its benefits, but also because it reports my highest credit score. It's 40 points higher than the one shown by those haters at Capital One.

@jeridansky
odd coincidence
My card number was also stolen just as card with new expiration date was mailed.
I also only had to change info once

Annoying thing: My credit card company declined what looks like a fraudulent charge, and now I'm getting a new card. A bit sad because I had my old number memorized from frequent online and phone use starting with the Covid years.

Positive part: I had not yet activated the new card I was sent a few weeks ago with a new expiration date. So I'll only need to change the number (in so many places!) once, not twice.

"Why the largest credit card companies are suppressing actual payment data on your credit report"

consumerfinance.gov/about-us/b

Around 2013-2015, many credit card companies decreased the info they report to Equifax, Transunion, etc about people's monthly payments. Seems like they did this to make it harder for competitors to poach their "good" customers. Of course, that also makes it harder to shop for a better interest rate.

Fortune: Goldman Sachs cut 3,200 employees last week, its largest layoff since the 2008 financial crisis. While the tech industry kicked off the layoff tsunami in 2022, banking has picked up the mantle, with BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup recently announcing job cuts. fortune.com/2023/01/18/goldman another

Now I’ lve seen everything. Ferrero Rocher created chocolate for

Form factor & thickness of these are exactly as a . What were they aiming at? Getting 3-year kids (seems to be the age limit on the box) accustomed to .ing & financial services?

I understand this might have been innocent & that the creative folks probably thought it will be simply “fun” for kids. But it may also be that some greater evil transpires thru that - even if unintentionally

The older I get, and the more I realize that it’s not just people that don’t change, it’s the entire system. There are still millions of people that believe the etc are ‘real’, or that really has 200 billions and no one is pulling his strings, or that are useful while it only profits the banks, or that life’s so while and don’t have sewer systems, or that is the only place to buy your s#it.

Sometimes debt feels like a form of prostitution. When we take on debt, we give a stranger the right to extract money from us in exchange for the pleasure of buying whatever we need or want! It is a relationship of exploitive convenience!

Wanted to take two more weeks of leave around until after Year’s , but I’m so how that may hurt us. I have to keep to the bone just to chip at the debt, sock some into savings. I’m at the point in our lives where we and track every penny to see where it went, and estimate how much we’ll need. Sometime, before the 6th, I imagine, I need to get my hands on 1350 dollars. , taking what’s left of savings and having NO net.
