Just got my income based payment plan today.

:mjcry: they want $326.70 a month

Military here I come
they want $326.70 on an income based payment plan? PAYE won't work for you or something? $326 on a PAYE is if you're making like $60k and single and a family size of 1.

pretty much every vehicle purchase I made in my 20s was horrible I just had to have a fresh car after every deployment....I went thru 5-6 cars before I turned 30. Started with an El Dorado ended with a Navigator.

Do.
Not.

New.
Car.

Find the same model year with 20k miles on it and save yourself $10k.
This is a no brainer.

Don't know what your financial situation is but if you have a steady income & decent credit leasing a new vehicle through AutoNation could be a nice option for you:ld:. Good prices on pre-owned vehicles as well and they all include caxfax & worry-free service record

I'm not sure if you meant me or dude I quoted but I'm old and my financial situation I will say is... better than average and I'd never buy a new car.

New cars are for the rich.

I'm gonna need more info.

And this reminds me of a lawsuit I got caught up in with some MLM scheme. I only had to pay 6k tho.

ive downloaded 2 movies and 1 game with utorrent and used an open tracker (piratebay). i wasnt online for more than 20 minutes but they still got me. 3 different law firms.

stupidity on my behalf but i used torrent for over 10 years and nothing ever happened. lesson learned:mjcry:

not buying a 3 family house(investment) after getting approved for a mortgage in my early to mid twenties.

playing around with credit card debt.

When was this? Everyone was getting approved for a mortgage before the market crashed. Yu might have dodged a bullet

Being to generous with my first gf after graduating college, I spent way too much money on her and it drained my savings and had my credit cards go from zero balances to about 3,000 a piece. It's taken me 6 yrs to recover and I'm still not there. Being 30 with only 7,000 in savings pisses me off when I know I should have closer to 20,000. Good thing is I've never been late on a payment and my score is a 781
Same shyt with me but luckily I was only 19, its soul burning thinking about the amount money i wasted on her this bytch has been non existent in my life for the past 3 years now and i know she has had many nikkas since:mjcry:

using bittorrent and getting fined 5000€
I'm confused here. What type of email did they send you? Usually it's a nerd who traced your IP and is trying to get you to pay money.

I used to get those emails all the time about being fined but never paid lol. It's not real firms, man. I think some random nerd got you lol.
