And here you have the Federal Reserve reporting that Dave Ramsey is right, all except that Ramsey promotes debt snowball if you're in credit card debt, saying that paying off debts from smallest to biggest while minimum payments go in on everything else then re-allocating the money from the smaller ones to bigger ones until it's all paid off is better. [06:35] IsambardPrince > [06:35] IsambardPrince > Ramsey concludes that the savings from debt avalanche is not worth the dismal "20%" success rate, compared with "80%" for snowball, and he concludes that it's better to pay the extra interest because it won't be much different either way and most people are not math nerds.

[07:52] IsambardPrince ---- [07:52] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: Dave Ramsey's advice to just use a debit card or cash.... [07:52] IsambardPrince Well, it does simplify your wallet. [07:52] IsambardPrince You can earn 1% back with a debit card. If you just want the rewards points you should not keep many credit cards around. Just enough to generate a score. [07:52] IsambardPrince Not enough that you can get into some seriously deep shit. ● Aug 01 [08:25] *betsy has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity) [08:53] *fake1956 (~fake1956@149.88.pw.voo) has joined #techrights [08:53] *fake1956 (~fake1956@149.88.pw.voo) has left #techrights ● Aug 01 [09:33] ciphrCat IsambardPrince: im surprised you support Trump, considering this comment Why is it even legal? Well, frankly it shouldn't be, but banks have a lot of lawyers and lobbyists and poor Black and Brown people don't, and neither do poor people. Trump neutered the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. Banks support republicans for that reason, because republicans will not control banks. [09:34] ciphrCat you say rewards range from 0.53%, but its worth noting that rewards often in 5% in categories where credit card use makes less sense. [09:36] ciphrCat That is, you can often get a 5% rebate when buying groceries, gasoline, or dining out. Those kinds of purchases do not benefit from the credit cards extended warranty and often dont benefit from helping consumers keep purchase records. [09:37] ciphrCat So my theory is that they increase the rebate even more to incentivize credit card use that makes less sense. [09:37] ciphrCat they want to get people in the habit of using credit cards for /everything/ [09:43] IsambardPrince I do not support Trump. [09:43] IsambardPrince [03:34] you say rewards range from 0.53%, but its worth noting that rewards often in 5% in categories where credit card use makes less sense. [09:43] IsambardPrince Yes, some of my cards are 5-6% on grocery. [09:44] IsambardPrince But 6% only up to $6,000 and there's an annual fee on that of $95. [09:44] IsambardPrince But it's an AmEx so there's also a lot of offers throughout the year on things like car insurance, phones, utilities. [09:44] IsambardPrince So if you do it right, those credits will take out the annual fee all by themselves and then the 6% on the groceries is all yours. [09:45] IsambardPrince But most people don't do this. [09:45] IsambardPrince [03:36] That is, you can often get a 5% rebate when buying groceries, gasoline, or dining out. Those kinds of purchases do not benefit from the credit cards extended warranty and often dont benefit from helping consumers keep purchase records. [09:45] IsambardPrince The AmEx has return protection. [09:45] IsambardPrince If the retailer won't take it back, AmEx will buy it back from you including shipping to AmEx. [09:46] IsambardPrince The Discovers have 5% rotating. [09:46] IsambardPrince I hope next quarter is Google Wallet again. [09:47] IsambardPrince ciphrCat: I get my prescriptions at the supermarket (6%). [09:47] IsambardPrince When Discover has Google Wallet I go to the supermarket customer service while I'm getting prescriptions or something and pay my electric bill by account number. [09:47] IsambardPrince They let you tap to pay the electric company there. [09:48] IsambardPrince Technically you can go get gift cards at the supermarket and get 6% on the gift cards. [09:48] IsambardPrince ciphrCat: So if you have a Discover quarter and want gift cards, or to eat up some of your AmEx cap, you can buy gift cards at the supermarket. [09:49] IsambardPrince Then you're getting 6% at restaurants or Walmart or something. [09:49] IsambardPrince So AmEx does not code Walmart as Grocery. [09:49] IsambardPrince But they code the grocery store that sells Walmart gift cards as Grocery. [09:49] IsambardPrince So you can get 6% on Walmart gift cards and then load them into your Walmart account and use that to shop at Walmart. [09:50] IsambardPrince Or you can finish off a Discover quarter with Walmart in it at 5% that way. [09:50] IsambardPrince Just buy Walmart gift cards at Walmart and use them after the quarter ends. [09:51] IsambardPrince If you're doing it right you can get 5 or 6% back in most places just using Discover and AmEx. [09:52] IsambardPrince I use the Discover quarters with Google Pay to take my cats to the vet for their checkups. ● Aug 01 [10:02] ciphrCat i will not use AmEx because they are an ALEC member (which means they work against workers rights, womens rights, environmental protection, gun control, they support climate denial).
