Actually, the big thing is to learn to live below your means so you can save, and DON'T DON'T DON'T get into credit card debt at all. I've learned this the hard way, and finally dug myself out of debt. I owe much of this turn around to encouragement from my fiancee, who has helped me become a very cheap person! :) [ Thursday, May 19, 2005 06:52: Message edited by: Andrew Miller ] Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

It is a far better idea to get a loan and deposit it if you need extra money than to get a credit card; the interest rates are about 10-15% better. -------------------- The biggest, the baddest, and the fattest. Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

Most importantly, money shouldn't be borrowed for purposes of mere consumption. A college education, a house (an investment), or a car (for transportation to work, say) are justifiable reasons to accrue debt; a new computer to play games, unfortunately, is not.

 Capitalist ho. As a side note, if anything, what capitalism exactly does not encourage is savings. Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

Lol yeah I now. But lets not define what Capitalism is. I just used it as a snappy title. I want to now who has 200-300,000. They either lied or are quite a bit older. I guess I'm lucky having a family business which I could work at from a very young age. It pays only 10 dollars an hour and I only work there in the summer. But I've managed to accumulate 45,000. Being that I'm 19 and this was my first year of college I'm sure it will begin to decrease. Are there any stock market players here? I mainly use GIC's for investment. Still really pitiful rates of interest 3% or lower. I've heard that like 15 years ago interest rates in basic savings accounts were close to 11%. Now that's return. -------------------- I stop rubber at 160km/h, five times a week. CANUCKS RESPEK! My Style The Knight Between Posts. Posts: 2395 | Registered: Friday, November 2 2001 08:00 |

My private stockpile is not large and not enough for college. Not that I have to worry yet; I'm only a freshman. A few summer jobs and a few scholarship ougtta do the trick (or most of it anyway). -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

You really shouldn't mislead the newbie, you know. Alorael's exactly 54 years old, and he has been for the past two years. In all seriousness, though, there are at least a couple of people frequenting these forums who we know to be over 60. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

I am one of the youngest who actually post. There are probably 10 years olds who have registered. Anyway, I am 13 and 3 months, 13 days. Jeez, 3 is a popular number. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. Polaris Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |

I invest in the stock market, because it provides extra income. I would rather not, but I do need the money and I really cannot work two jobs right now. It requires vigilance (checking every day), steady nerves, a willingness to cut your losses quickly, and a real hard nosed streak sometimes. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

I'm a day less than a month shy of my 56th birthday. A poll conducted when polls were new and shiny on Spidweb showed that I was timeless, but "older than the bottom layer of grease on the movie theater floor" was a close second. Who am I to disagree with the voice of the people on my age? —Alorael, who would never lie about a thing like this. No, never. Well, hardly ever.
