Sick Sad world
Ok,
So yes, I'm amazingly enough, either really bored or really stuck on myself.. (thinks that make you go HMMMMM?) Anyway.
The very first post I made to this blog, was that it was a Sick Sad world, and basically commented that it was really no wonder that people were in debt up to their eyeballs. But I never really finished the thought (go figure...guess it was an ADD moment). Today I recieved yet ANOTHER credit card offer...In my maiden name no less. Now, here's why it's a sick sad world.
Hubby and I have credit cards, no biggie, everyone does. What kills me is, only one of them is in his name primary. All the rest are in my name. And I have NO INCOME. Well, no verifiable income anyway. And yet, these companies will give me credit faster and at higher limits than him. And the funniest part of the whole thing, mine have lower interest rates than his. I think that either the most amusing, or the saddest part, of this whole scenario is, that little part about them being in my maiden name. At least, at the very least, if I use my married name to get credit, I could always just claim it is his income I'm using as a basis...I suppose it works the same if I use my maiden name, but I'm not sure, especially since, what happens if (not that it ever would...but you know...the world being what it is) if something happened and we were no longer together...I would have over 2000 in open credit, and absolutely no way to pay it back. I just kills me.
So ok. Enough of that. I just found it strange.
(I think the bad part may be that I'm talking about major credit cards here, with several having major limits on them...not the little piddly store credit cards).
Wonder if I could convince american express to give me one....LOL.
