Debit vs. Credit Cards

How did those 4 work out?

They were great employees, one stayed for 5 years, the rest until we closed the doors.
They still call me on holidays with greetings.

The real question is "was it still readable?"

No! It was really bad green ink in cursive.
If you tried to read it, you were caught red-handed !

Marijuana sales too (legal, from a dispensary)

I'm not saying I agree or disagree, but this oft repeated lie needs to be addressed. As of this posting, marijuana is still illegal in all states and territories. It is a Federal schedule 1 drug.

I agree, it’s long past time that it was addressed. This was posted in another thread…

I agree. BUT the situation that I am in, being in a rural area, means that dialing 911 might not get an immediate response like it would in a large city. We have a great, dedicated, and hard working sheriffs department but they are spread thinly across the county. And the meth is flowing into the area in unbelievable amounts.

I started packing a pistol about fifteen-twenty years ago after bush hogging a field on a secluded farm and noticing that several pickup trucks were burning the road up that split the farm. A couple weeks later an acquaintance mentioned that I had a lot of balls mowing down so-and-so's pot patch.

UH-OH !!!!

I knew some guys I worked with had done the same thing playing with an old dozer they bought. Except they were confronted by the dope growers. So I started packing when going to that back roads property. That led to me packing most of the time. I have no need to do that anymore so I seldom do so.

Since it was decriminalized here in Maine we don’t have to worry about the above scenario. Time was though, if you came across a patch while working, your day was done; GTF out of there for your own safety.
A former coworker came across a patch in the woods which had fish line hanging at eye level, with fish hooks hanging from them. It was pretty sad back then that you couldn’t even use your own land without worrying about interlopers… one reason I chuckle when people comment about hunters trespassing.

If she can make the justification for on-line bill paying, so can you.

Most likely will over time. My wife will tell you I'm a lot like my father. VERY slow to change. Heck, my wife even does mobile phone deposits electronically to the bank where as I drive to the bank to deposit it when I get a check

Unfortunately, that is not universally true. Even in states that believe they have "decriminalized", there are illegal growers who threaten or harm people.

Feds refuse to enforce that law for economic reasons the same as immigration laws are not enforced.

Now that is one thing I resist doing.

I was offered $500 on a credit card back if I spent $3,000 on it in the first 90 days on goods that I had to buy anyway. I spent a bit over $3,000 and got my statement with $500 off.

I feel like I did pretty good.

So you spent $3000 to save $500? Your financial math is, iffy Don't I remember you recommending adjustable rate mortgages or was that someone else?

 

[Torvy]

So you spent $3000 you probably wouldn't have otherwise spent to save $500? Your financial math is, iffy Don't I remember you recommending adjustable rate mortgages or was that someone else?

I think maybe you are confused about what he was saying. Using the card rather than paying cash or using a different card made him $500. He never said he was spending on things he wasn't buying anyway.

As for ARMs, they are a tool that can be effective if used correctly. Tractors are great when used effectively, deadly if used carelessly. I see the ARM the same way.
