re: How can I raise my credit?

I have 2 personal CCs that I never defaulted on but i dont use them because like i said earlier I really dont want to go down the 'i make enough i can pay this off later' trap. tbh i consider myself a poor administrator so try to avoid debt like the plague or get rid of it ASAP. so i have them but never use them for anything.
Here is your problem. You need to change that mindset. I pay everything I can using credit cards. Everything that is except those that charge a fee, for example, property tax. Charge everything you can and pay the bill in full as soon as you get it. Don't wait until the due date. Don't think about it as going into debt. Think of it as paying any other bill when it's due. Of course, don't increase buying things you don't really need.
re: When did you buy your first house and how much did it cost?
Posted by PlanoPrivateer on 9/2/26 at 3:10 pm to Ramblin Wreck
1975 bought a vacant lot in Metairie for $15,000.00.
1977 built a 2200 square foot 4 bed 2 bath house with $50,000.00 construction loan.
Somewhere in-between paid for some fill to be delivered and spread but don't remember the cost but it wasn't a lot.
So roughly $65,000.00.

Only available to residents of Australia and New Zeeland? Foreign exchange rates give me a headache, but it looks like this offer is close to the current trading price. It looks like the offer expires in about a month. I could be wrong about all of this, but it doesn't look like it will result in a large amount of dilution. Others, please let me know if I am wrong.
I'm holding.

Yes, it can help but if you are new to golf, I would suggest you get lessons before you get fitted.
re: Former female NFL ref who was fired for bad performance sues league for discrimination

Oh, they have a union, NFLRA. Not as good as Major League Baseball but pretty strong. A number of NFL officials are not fired. Some are "reassigned" to off the field duties and of course some go back to NCAA.

Oh and you're aware that was not even remotely his call right?
62zip is 100% correct on this. It was a very bad no call, but not the Referee's to make. If Bill Vinovich had thrown a flag for pass interference on a pass thrown down field the NFL would have given him a bad post-game review. Once the pass is thrown the Referee's primary focus is on the quarterback watching for roughing the quarterback. and for any "extra-curricular activity" by players in the backfield. If the referee is looking downfield, he is not doing his job correctly. Blame for the bad non call is on the short and deep wing and possibly the back judge.

re: Sam Burns finishes 3rd place at British Open.
Posted by PlanoPrivateer on 7/18/26 at 3:35 pm to Who_Dat_Tiger
Great story. He almost didn't play in The Open. His second child's birth was due this week and he planned to stay home. The daughter, Belle, arrived earlier than expected on July 3rd. Sam's wife encouraged him to go. I believe he had time to play only one practice round. Sam had a pretty bad first round and ended up 3 over par. He had bogeys on the last 3 holes. His second round was a record tying 62 followed by a solid 65 (2nd best round of the day) today.
I didn't get to see most of today's round but did have the good sense to record it. Watching it now while enjoying a J.T. Meleck Louisiana Small Batch. It is great watching already knowing how the round ended up.
Geaux Sam. Get your first major.

Oaks Country Club (not The Oaks, just Oaks) is in south Tulsa. Might need your club pro, if you have one, contact them. Or maybe someone in the wedding party is or knows a member.

What a sad but inspiring story. It makes us remember that many aren't so well off and those of us that are better off can help. Also, as another posted he wished he could have Zelled some money to the family. They posted a Gmail account that could be used for Zelle if the OP has a back account. I don't like giving the middleman, Go Fund Me, anything.

The worst day I can remember in my trading account. Down a little over 3%. I do have some dry powder and picked up some OUST near the low for the day. Now on to Monday.
