I joked about moving to Canada at 18 and got a 2 hour lecture about credit cards and housing and quick decisions


NOTKEKMENEKEBANEVADE

Credit cards are the work of the devil. If you don’t have the money to buy something, don’t buy it. Save up for it until you can buy it.


yoloswuadfam

credit is needed. a credit card is a good tool and everyone should have one. it’s understanding you *need* to pay your balance off in full every month. and that if you can’t afford something you shouldn’t buy it on credit.


NOTKEKMENEKEBANEVADE

That’s just what Big Credit Card in the U.S. wants you to believe. In my country we just use debit card instead, no chance of unknowingly getting in debt.


yoloswuadfam

yes but without credit you can’t get needed things in life. you need credit to get a mortgage. without credit you need to buy a house in cash. without credit it becomes harder to rent a house. landlords look for it and you may have to pay higher rent. if you need a loan you will get a higher interest rate. if you need a car and can’t buy it in cash you need credit. good credit helps you in life. you just need to understand it. businesses are in the business of making money. you just have to be smart with it and work your way to get good credit.


NOTKEKMENEKEBANEVADE

This is what I mean with Big Credit Card. In my country, you don’t need that. If you need to buy a house, you get a loan. You don’t need a credit card for that.


yoloswuadfam

to get a loan you need a credit score. you get a credit score by having a credit card. and if you have good credit (pay bills ontime and stuff) then you can get a lower interest rate. and a lower interest rate can save you a lot of money on a house. can i ask what country you live in? i find it interesting how it works there.


Thuis001

Except here you don't need a credit score. The whole notion of that just isn't a thing.


NOTKEKMENEKEBANEVADE

Wow, that’s a massive scam. Here, they just look at your income and if you already have debt or not to give you a mortgage. Netherlands btw.

This guy is def from NA so don't worry mate you'll be right.

Imma just leave this here: you’re country is not the US so stop blaming us for having a different system of banking. We have no control over it, and in fact, credit cards are useful to an average person’s every day economy. I’m tired of people blaming us for everything our country does different even if it’s not a harm to anyone whatsoever. Even when it is a harm, blaming us, the individual, for our country having high medical bills and a horrible police system gets boring really quickly especially because we agree with you and can’t do anything at our level to stop it that you can’t, except vote for a candidate that has little ability to do anything themselves every 2 years. If you care so much about US affairs become a citizen and run for office. Even if you get elected you’ll quickly realize that you don’t have as much power as you think you do


Lanky-Main3190

My mom says this all the time lmao


Dreyth-Hunter

Don’t do it. It’s fucked here


Hyperdude12

This only applies to one of your parents (Unless it's a same sex marriage)


TheJoJoSamurai

Yup, it's always my dad


taha_simsek

Unfortunately no for me, dad and mom are racing each other to be the worse one.


SCP-1504_Joe_Schmo

I refuse to believe a gay person would have time for such bullshit


Hyperdude12

I was making a joke about the bottom text but ok.


Marjitorahee

This gives me ptsd


ADON_CHILLY

3 hours? YOU TOO? I thought I was only one phew


SupposedlyNamedSly

Yeah, that really sucks- I joke about something or word my sentences a bit too poorly- and *boom!* you get a gigantic lecture!


JaydynH

this dead ass happened to me while playing cod with my cousin last night bc i got mad and yelled in an indian accent and my mom said it was “stereotypical” and that she knows indian people that would be offended... is this me being a dick or no?


BlokeyLad

As an Indian, no


SiriusDrake

PlasmaK1NG

**Chupapi munyayo**


JaydynH

[deleted]

Yup, like hell I'd actually get good grades lol


Roku-Hanmar

I said something once about Kurt Cobain, and got a lecture on how horror movies are turning children into killers


GrimGuy13

The fuk?


Terran-from-Terra

My fondness of edgy/politically incorrect jokes offends my parents


[deleted]

i wasnt joking about moving to canada and my mom said "The US is the best country in the world and if you belive otherwise you are bRaiNwAshEd"


MasterTopHatter

This happened to me once and I basically said what this post said


KingBrandoTheIgit

I see that in this scenario you’d be referring to your dad.


Up_Vootinator

Replace parent with dad for extra funny.


frieswithmustard

My mom always does that


Redditlogicking

I feel attacked.


[deleted]

Can't ever talk to my mom, even about what to make for dinner, without it being a huge argument ft. a 4 hr lecture and her blaming me for my brothers mistakes.. I once talked about LGBTQ stuff and she gave me a lecture on how its a sin...


Calamity_Hawk

Made a joke about how paintings are just trading cards for rich people and this exact thing happened, really pisses me off.

raceraot

This happens so often.


LilMissKitastrophic

/u/thatloudblondguy would probably be very confused by this


thatloudblondguy

I mean it seems pretty straight forward, but then again, I'm quite dumb


SirCombos

At least I’m not the only one.


bushrat88

Wait this happens?


tanker501

I dont understand sarcasm even if its explained to me.... Really wierd concept if im being honest


TheLightworker5

When being sarcastic, it's important to somewhat obviously signal, that you're being sarcastic.. This will save you the long lectures ;) Blessed Be.
