New England B.S. Thread

Good point! It is certainly on my mind today haha so when I saw that phrasing I just had to make the joke

 

Must be the 'off' day

I could show you my rubber order history on Amazon to give you an idea of frequency if you needed proof, but that'd be sharing more than I'm willing to reveal.

 

Alright so I've got $200 in Amazon credit thanks to my Amazon Credit Card. What should I get? CB? Dashcam? More lights?

 

Yes.

 

Yeah I'm hoping tonight is a good night. We will see!

 

Oak barrel, cheese cloth and a small funnel.

 

I know exactly where you're going with this!

Got any Japanese whiskey?

 

I have to restock - I might try the Hibiki Harmony since the 12 is hard to find and all my friends want a pretty penny for a bottle.
I might need to make a NH liquor store run - some of them still had the 12 a couple of months ago.

 

Here you go...

I know that guy. It's not paint though. It's all vinyl. He was supposed to help me with doing my star wars windows but he never got back to me so I ordered some crap off ebay but it works lol. Here is his shop. It is also where I took my LTC course.

 

I'm way more boring--I am up to $300 or so on my Chase Freedom and have decided it's going to offset the insurance increase I'll see from the new truck.

 

Meh. I usually earn about $100 a year or so on my Capital 1 and I always just redeem it for an account credit. And my LL Bean card coupons usually just go towards a flannel shirt or something equally dull

 

I have a Chase Freedom Unlimited that gets me around $350/year based on what I spend. I pay pretty much everything but the mortgage and property taxes with the card. I just use it as a statement credit too, in this case to offset the insurance for the new truck.

My LL Bean ones are usually a new fleece jacket or something. I used to use that for everything so I'd get a decent amount, but not as much now since the Chase rewards are better.

 

I've got mine set up so that house expenditures go on the LL Bean card, and day-to-day stuff goes on the Capital 1. They both get paid off every month, it's just easier that way to keep the 'house' stuff (things that the GF and I usually split) separate from my personal stuff.

 

Yeah, I always pay mine in full too. Much easier to do that than to use a debit card and keep track of so many checking account transactions.

 

Exactly. Plus the fraud protection, extended warranties, etc. are much better on a credit card than on a debit card.

 

I was just kidding anyways

 

I have a lot of friends who do the debit card thing. "Credit Cards = bad" is wired into their brains or something. Build credit, get rewards, etc. It's stupid not to.

I'll occasionally get one who will look into it, miss the point entirely, and comes back and says "but all the interest rates are so high!"

I've never paid interest so rates on my cards could be 5000% for all I care.

 

My girlfriend is one of these people, and I think it's due to her mothers spending habits. She doesn't have a credit card, and doesn't want one. So she has basically 0 credit history.

I put everything on my Amazon card, except for a couple older monthly charges that go on my bank's credit card. I've never forgotten to pay them off, and I've never paid any interest. I think my amazon card has like 25% APR or something ridiculous.

 

Self-control is key; lots of people let their balances get out of hand because they don't track what they buy, and at the end of the month it's double what they thought so they're all
