I opened my mailbox this afternoon to find four (4) credit card offers. Now mind you, three of them were from one particular card company. Still, in the past few weeks, I seem to be getting quite a few credit card offers from a variety of banks and card issuers.
Obviously these companies consider a man who has not had a steady source of income for the past 6+ months, and who will not have a steady source of income for a good couple years, a good credit risk.
And we wonder why banks have been in trouble.
Part of me really wants to apply for all these cards, get like $100,000 in debt, and then file bankruptcy and run off with my riches. Bankruptcy stays on the record for, what, 7 years? I’ll be in the seminary for 6 of them, so….
Of course, that would be immoral, so I’m not going to. I hope.
