    I was talking about this with a friend just the other night. A lot of those services can actually be helpful. The problem is they’re so often predatory and just target people with the idea that they can buy things they can’t afford.

      They can be super useful that’s for sure but damn can they really be predatory that’s for sure

      I swear when COVID hit my mailbox was getting stuffed with offer letters for cards every week

      And one of the cards I got I got in anticipation of having a dental surgery, then it got hit super hard and ended going over 10k really quick due to the 3 surgeries I ended up having
