THANKS.


WAIT.........

AUTOMAIL 4 SALE rules!!!!!!!

 

[guitarsingerguy]

But as I said in my other post, I didn't have 50 dollars when I signed up for Xbox Live.

If you can lend me $50 then I'm all for it.(j/k)


I did say that I will probably switch to $49.99 for a year if I decide to keep using Live.

I get paid this week so we'll see what happens.

I'm personally just trying to save you some money.

guitarsingerguy, I just bumped the Gamertag thread a few minutes ago. You can post in there and I'll add your GT to the list of everyones. You can also see everyone elses GTs.

ME TOO.



WELL......THAT, AND MAKE HIM FEEL LIKE A JACKASS, FOR PISSING AWAY $46.00.

 

[The Master]

No, I think you missed my point. K stands for 1000. Therefore, if your rent is $1000 it would be 1K. That equals 1000. For 1300 you would say 1.3K.

um...thanks

1K would be my rent. The 300 includes my phone and credit card bills.

Thanks! I knew there was one in here. I was just too lazy to use the search button.

Honestly.....yes.

AND THEREIN LIES YOUR PROBLEM. THAT, AND THE FACT THAT YOU'RE PISSING AWAY $1000/MO. ON RENT, RATHER THAN PUMPING IT INTO A MORTGAGE.........BUT THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT TOPIC, WHICH WOULD BE BEST LEFT FOR 'COMMUNITY'.

 

[The Master]

I'm personally just trying to save you some money.

Thanks. I'll take some money though.....

Seriously. I originally wanted the 49.99 for a year plan but had to settle for 7.99 a month.

After I get paid, then I'll switch over.

Yes, but he needs the credit cards to build the credit to get a mortgage.

 

[THWIP*]

Honestly.....yes.

HOLY CRAP.

WHAT ABOUT 'GU1TARS1NGERGUY'?

Who wouldn't? Seriously, if you find someone giving out free money send them my way.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

HOLY CRAP.

WHAT ABOUT 'GU1TARS1NGERGUY'?

Now, that I didn't try, but I refuse to sully MY name by using friggin' numbers for I's.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

By the way, is the play and charge kit worth buying?

I don't qualify for a Mortgage right now(seriously), I already checked. My wife and I are trying to re-establish our credit(We made some terrible mistakes during our college years) so that we can purchase a House/Condo next year.

Maybe you can give me some pointers on this topic since you seem to be a well-established homeowner.

Well, I can help some. I'm not a homeowner, but I'm a 25 year old with a credit score of almost 800. What is your credit score by the way, and what kind of mistakes did you make when you were younger?

 

[ToddIsDead]

I like it, but it came with the package that I got with my 360. An extra wireless controller, play-and-charge kit, and Kameo

 

[THWIP*]

Yes, but he needs the credit cards to build the credit to get a mortgage.

THAT'S REALLY NOT THE BEST WAY TO BUILD CREDIT. YOU REALLY ONLY "BUILD CREDIT" WHEN YOU'VE PAID SOMETHING OFF, VIA MONTHLY PAYMENTS; 90% OF CREDITCARD OWNERS/USERS NEVER DO THAT.

IF YOU WANT TO BUILD CREDIT (AND AGAIN, THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE A THREAD IN 'COMMUNITY' ), HERE'S ALL YOU NEED TO DO:

1. DEVELOP A WORKING BUDGET
2. SET ASIDE "UNTOUCHABLE MONEY" EVERY WEEK/MONTH (HOWEVER YOU GET PAYED). EVEN IF IT'S ONLY $20-$50 A MONTH, IT'S A START.
3. WHEN YOU WANT TO BUY A T.V., OR BED, OR WHATEVER (PREFERABLY SOMETHING YOU CAN HANDLE), YOU BUY IT ON PAYMENTS, AND SUPPLEMENT THE PAYMENTS WITH THE MONEY YOU'VE SAVED.
4. ESTABLISH A WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH A LOCAL BANK (PREFERABLY A LOCALLY-OWNED BANK), AND BORROW MONEY WHENEVER THE OPPORTUNITY ARISES. IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, YOU CAN USUALLY GET A LOW-INTEREST LOAN FOR PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING YOU'D EVER WANT.......AS LONG AS YOU'RE DEALING WITH A LOAN OFFICER WHO KNOWS/TRUSTS YOU, AND YOU CAN HOLD DOWN A JOB.

Now, that I didn't try, but I refuse to sully MY name by using friggin' numbers for I's.

OH, RIGHT.......BUT YOU'LL SETTLE FOR SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOME FLY-BY-NIGHT CAR BROKERAGE?

 

[The Master]

THANKS.....BUT IT'S KIND OF AN INSULT, TO SUGGEST I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO RESEARCH/EXPLORE WHERE TO RENT GAMES IN MY TOWN/LOCALE. I'M 34 Y.O., FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD.

I wasn't suggesting that you didn't know anything about researching place to rent games. It's insulting that you took it as such.

I do however find this ironic, since you assume I don't know anything about maintaining a budget or buying a house.

From what I understood, all the companies you have credit extended with make 3, 6, or 12 month reports on what you're doing. This includes credit cards. As long as you're paying your bills and not falling behind your credit goes up. This is what I've been told. Of course, it's easily possible for me to be wrong.

WELL, I'D HAVE BEEN MORE HELP TO YOU, IF WE'D HAD THIS CONVERSATION PRIOR TO YOUR COLLEGE YEARS........BUT CHECK OUT MY POST ABOVE.

Watch Fullmetal Alchemist and like it. That way maybe you'll get off my case.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

This is just for you THWIP taken from Wikipedia:

Automail is a type of prosthetic limb present in the series Fullmetal Alchemist that is used by various characters in the series as a replacement for lost or damaged body parts.

Automail is made from metal and linked directly to the nerves of the body. Automail can be used on both humans and animals. In certain situations, automail can be designed to replace huge portions of the body. Also present in the series are normal prosthetics, not linked to the body's nervous system. Many amputees choose to use these over automail, despite the numerous advantages automail has. This is because of the intense pain experienced when automail is first connected to the body.

Well-made automail allows a range of movement and strength as good as or better than the original limb it replaces. It is never directly stated how automail is powered, but it is known that the technology grew from the science of alchemy.

In the series, there also exist automail designers, and repair personnel known as mechanics. Episode 26 of Fullmetal Alchemist, "Her Reason," provides much insight into the world of automail and mechanics.

Now leave me alone ya' bastad.
