walls are props

So Chase sent me a card offer that looked a lot better than the card I’m using, and I figured I would see just how much credit I could build up. I applied a few days ago, and the card is already here. I still had no idea what the limit was on the card, so I logged into the Chase website-

Ten grand.

I now have $13,000 of total credit available to me, $10K of which has the same interest rate as the loan I got for my motorcycle. From a bank. For half of what I can put on this new card.

All of this would be really exciting if I had $13k of savings built up, but sadly, I do not, which also means I won’t be buying a house anytime soon. I think I will just be putting this card in a safe place to use if catastrophe strikes, and debt is the only option.

Maybe this isn’t unusual. I didn’t get my first credit card until after college, so I don’t know what kinds of limits are generally available to people my age. Anyone else experiencing a huge availability of credit? Home equity doesn’t count; I rent.

I want to go on a vacation cruise to Mars, dammit.

Given the fact that Google is a search company, why is it that there is no way to quickly search through the addons for the personalized homepage?

It’s supposed to be much cooler for the rest of the week, which should make it much easier for me to pack up everything I own in this apartment (which lacks air conditioning) and move it across the street to my next apartment (which also lacks air conditioning.)

Anybody free on Saturday night or Sunday morning?
