Dig it! I just bought a bunch of groceries for me and the people I love with affirm.com for the second time in the last 3 months. Credit cards are maxed, the rent is too damned high, and I spend a chunk of money every month servicing debt. Yeah I've been dumb frequently and made some shitty choices, but still. Isn't America groovy?

I love how it's called "servicing" debt. We're the ones gettin' serviced, and it's not in a good way. I remember my mom living on credit cards in the early 2000s, and back then I would say things like "No way am I going to grow up to be her." If I could send my past self a message, it would be ... "Oh my sweet summer child." Mom also died of pancreatic cancer that went undiagnosed for years because she was self-employed and couldn't afford (either financially or temporally) to see a doctor. · 4 months ago
