its a good thing nobody reads this

they would probably blast me for my lack of capitalization and inability to stay on topic. but ha. its my blog. i can do what i want.

i hate being poor. i hate it hate it hate it.

its not like i want to buy things. I just want to buy food. like the most delicious traditional sub at quiznos that I seriously probably think about every single day. But when a sub is the quivalent of 20% of your monthly income, you just cant do it. Especially when your parents pounded the thought of credit-card-debt = lucifer's infiltration-of-your-soul into your mind as a small child.

So heres an interesting little tidbit. I have never had a balance on my credit card at the end of the month. Ever. in...8 years of credit card owning. I thought only poor people and other debt un-savvy people left balances, but apparently its really weird to actually pay off your credit card bill. So for me, the money I have is actually the money I have. I don't spend it if I dont have it.

and unfortunately for me all my savings are in the stock market. I cant even bring myself to look at my scottrade site for fear that my 2k dollars of investments are now worth less than 1k. Because I am pretty sure that that is what has happened. fucking economy and fucking pieces of shit credit crisis.

i am pissed at JVC. they only give us 70 dollars a month per person for food. Okay, great. So it goes up with inflation, right? No. its been the same since the late 80's. Okay, well, recently, since the price of staples is subject to inflationary pressures, is anyone doing anything about in the JVC office? no! we're suffering right along with the rest of the poor people!

EXCEPT WE'RE NOT!!!! Because poor people have credit cards. Because poor people just spend spend spend and don't have to do anything about it, just paying their minimum balance, until, oh my god, what happened? credit card companies aren't earning the same amount that they're spending because poor people can't actually pay the money they owe, because the money never existed, and oh my god, WHAT? a credit crisis!? SHOCKING!!

so, jvc, give us a fucking credit card, in your name, so that we can spend hundreds of dollars and only pay the ten dollar minimum balance, because i want to live in solidarity with poor people and contribute to the freaking credit crisis like all the other people out there. AND I WANT MY QUIZNOS. AND CHIPOTLE.

I know the current crisis has not only been caused by credit card companies. However, the same basic principle applies to the mortgage lenders, preying on poor people.
