Credit card application update... DENIED!
My library card, a few receipts, some loose change, and a big ole fuck you. That's what's in my wallet.
I applied for a new card so I could transfer my remaining $2,000 debt onto it. With 0% APR for about a year, that would have really helped me to pay it off quickly. But alas. My credit is not fantastic. I was aware I probably wouldn't be accepted into the cool kids' credit club, but it still felt like a shovel kick in the testes. And they answered back so FAST! That was the worst part. My application said allow one to four weeks for a response. But they denied me within a day and a half! That's just embarrassing.
But I guess I'm in an OK place. I have a student loan deferment until next January so I can focus on my current credit card debt. If I can land a better paying job within a month or two, I'll really have something to smack my sneakers about. Sometimes I make up old-timey catch phrases.
Increasing income is my most pressing business! I'm working full time at my job for now, but that can change in a flash. It also pays me in buttons and pieces of old felt. Were I a Velveteen Rabbit, this would be acceptable. But I needs me some cashums.
Cute!
