[05:18] IsambardPrince It's been a long time since I've seen any bank credit cards with a purchase APR of 12%. [05:19] IsambardPrince The banks all went sky high ages ago. Like, 23% is about where it _starts_ at a bank now, and that's if you have fantastic credit. [05:19] IsambardPrince :) [05:19] IsambardPrince Owing them money is BAAAAAAAD NEWS. [05:19] IsambardPrince And they're getting a lot more relentless about making sure people pay it. [05:20] IsambardPrince 23% may be where it starts, but 27% is typical. [05:20] IsambardPrince 35-36% for people with terrible credit. [05:20] IsambardPrince I know why credit cards are not popular in the UK. [05:20] IsambardPrince They look like they're just awful. Absolute trash. [05:21] IsambardPrince Like, the ones I saw were saying up front if you owe them money it's between 32-40%. [05:21] IsambardPrince And they don't really have rewards to speak of for people who pay their bill off every month. [05:21] IsambardPrince So there's no reason to even run everything through the card then pay it to harvest those. [05:21] IsambardPrince The only thing a UK credit card could ever possibly do is hurt you. [05:21] IsambardPrince So I'm guessing most don't have one. [05:22] IsambardPrince I suppose the flip side of that is prices might be a bit lower because they're not gobbling up credit card merchant fees like they are in the US. Those are effectively uncapped. [05:22] IsambardPrince So it forces other customers to pay for the rewards on credit cards. [05:22] IsambardPrince It's a wealth transfer. [05:23] IsambardPrince The Fed has studied this. About 10 years ago I think? [05:24] IsambardPrince Back then they said a household under $20,000 (the poorest ones) would use cash because they had no access to rewards credit cards. They'd lose about $50-60 a year to credit card rewards schemes that merchants pass to them as higher prices. [05:24] IsambardPrince Technically, everyone pays the higher prices, but only some get rewards. [05:24] IsambardPrince And to get the good rewards, you have to have good credit. [05:24] IsambardPrince So it's a system where there's a small consumption "tax" to give rich people airline miles and membership points and cashback. [05:25] IsambardPrince And they said the top 20% of households by income at that point where getting about $1200 in these rewards points from the lower income people. [05:25] IsambardPrince Per year. [05:25] IsambardPrince So they people who need the money the most because they're poor, lose money. [05:25] IsambardPrince The people who need the money least, because they're rich, get money which isn't even a large amount, relative to how rich they are. [05:27] IsambardPrince I saw a few UK credit cards with rewards, but the rewards rate was so low there'd almost be no point. You'd literally get back maybe a few dollars at that rate at the end of the year. It would make no real difference to you except you might get in trouble and be tempted to overspend on the credit card. [05:28] IsambardPrince Like, there's an AmEx in the UK with half a percent cashback. [05:29] IsambardPrince Most in the US are like 3-5% in some categories. 2% on non-category. [05:30] IsambardPrince I heard that the AmEx cards you can get in China (if you can get one, they're issued by Chinese banks) have like 1%, and it just blew their mind that there'd be something that accumulated 1% of what you spend. [05:30] IsambardPrince I've only ever seen one Chinese AmEx. It was a red AmEx card with some agriculture bank or something's logo on it, and the AmEx Centurion on it. Same logo that's on the US cards. [05:32] IsambardPrince " I heard that the AmEx cards you can get in China (if you can get one, they're issued by Chinese banks) have like 1%, and it just blew their mind that there'd be something that accumulated 1% of what you spend.

For foreigners, Wechat-linked credit cards can be used in more than 95% of the scenes in the city (even more than native people). pos machines are almost completely retired in China, only large [05:32] IsambardPrince chain stores and travel-related places are likely to remain, and only in this case can the merchant type be identified and given multiple MR."

[07:37] IsambardPrince My dad told me he only had one good memory of his father. [07:37] IsambardPrince His father woke up one morning, didn't start drinking that day for some reason. Got my dad up and took him down to the store and bought him a brand new bicycle. [07:37] IsambardPrince And then it was back to drinking. [07:38] IsambardPrince I've taken beatings before but my dad never crossed that line. [07:38] IsambardPrince He never "beat" me. [07:38] IsambardPrince I was belted if I did something outrageous, but normally my mom would get after my dad to belt me. [07:39] IsambardPrince So it was "Carl, get your belt off!" [07:39] IsambardPrince When my mom worked me over with a belt it was abusive. [07:39] IsambardPrince It was so much worse than when my dad did it. [07:39] IsambardPrince She would belt my arms, my face, spit at me, knock me into walls. [07:40] IsambardPrince He would just say "Okay, bend over." and sort of hit hard enough to make noise so that my mom would go away and leave him alone. [07:40] IsambardPrince And I'd pretend that it hurt like hell. [07:40] IsambardPrince I got very good at pretending. [07:40] IsambardPrince Because if she didn't buy it, she'd go grab it from him and then it would hurt. [07:41] IsambardPrince The child abuse came from my mother, and even more so, her second husband, Brian. [07:41] IsambardPrince She'd just stand there and watch like nothing was happening. It didn't even seem to bother her. [07:42] IsambardPrince Meanwhile he's standing on my neck and punching me in the head or something, you know.

[07:43] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR3], I watched a movie called "Farewell My Concubine", a Chinese movie. And the boys at the school who were beaten by the people who ran it. [07:43] IsambardPrince I mean flogged. [07:44] IsambardPrince One of them made me laugh, and cry. I laughed when he said he wasn't worried about being punished anymore because it was like "having an itch scratched". [07:44] IsambardPrince I cried when later on, he couldn't actually take it anymore and hung himself. [07:44] IsambardPrince I was angry at the police for taking me to a hospital when I was 17. [07:45] IsambardPrince But I suppose I should really have thanked them because they talked me down from shooting myself. [07:45] IsambardPrince I was in there with a gun threatening to kill myself if they came in. Eventually they had to send a negotiator. [07:46] IsambardPrince It took them a couple of hours to get me to put it down and come out. [07:46] IsambardPrince For a couple of hours I was trying to decide if I was more afraid of the gun or my future. [07:47] IsambardPrince After my parents divorced I had no good options on who I wanted to live with. [07:48] IsambardPrince I could stay with my dad who would leave me alone in the house for weeks on end. Or when he was there, blame me for mom leaving him. [07:48] IsambardPrince Or I could live with mom and Brian. [07:48] IsambardPrince I was furious with my mother. [07:49] IsambardPrince At times I seriously thought about taking that gun and my dad's car keys (in the middle of the night or something, he slept like a brick, and sometimes until the afternoon), and go kill mom and Brian with the gun. [07:49] IsambardPrince I don't want to say I seriously considered it, but I was angry and I did think about it. I thought about how I'd do it. And if it would make me feel "better". [07:50] IsambardPrince I decided against that because I'm not made for prison and I knew it even then. [07:51] IsambardPrince But I had a lot of hatred and depression swirling around in me then. I felt betrayed. I didn't know if I wanted to murder them or commit suicide.

[08:55] IsambardPrince That's where you can empty the equity from the growth in the property valuation by refinancing it and keeping the extra.
